Answer:
x= 2 and y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = 4 ---------------------------------(1)
-7x + 5y = -34 -----------------------------(2)
Multiply through equation (1) by 5 and multiply through equation(2) by 3
40x + 15y = 20 ----------------------------(3)
-21x + 15y =-102----------------------------(4)
Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)
61x = 122
Divide both-side of the equation by 61
61x/61 = 122/61
(At the left-hand side of the equation 61 will cancel-out 61 leaving us with just x, while at the left-hand side of the equation 122 will be divided by 61)
x = 122/61
x=2
Substitute x= 2 into equation (1)
8x + 3y = 4
8(2) + 3y = 4
16 + 3y = 4
Subtract 16 from both-side of the equation
16-16 + 3y = 4-16
3y = -12
Divide both-side of the equation by 3
3y/3 = -12/3
y = -4
x= 2 and y = -4
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
A militia is a local army. During the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the local militia (called minutemen), the militia outnumbered the British at Concord and chased them all the way back to Boston. The militia aided in many American victories during the Revolutionary War.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
