Equation 1)  x = 3y - 8
Equation 2)  3x - 4y = -9

For equation 1, subtract 3y from both sides.

1)  x - 3y = -8

Then, multiply ALL of equation 1 by 3.

1)  3(x - 3y = -8)

1)  3x - 9y = -24
2)  3x - 4y = -9

Subtract equations from one another.

-5y = -15

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 3

Plug in 3 for y in the second equation.

3x - 4y = -9

3x - 4(3) = -9

Simplify.

3x - 12 = -9

Add 12 to both sides.

3x = -9 + 12

Simplify.

3x = 3

x = 1

<span>x=3y-8
3x-4y=-9

We are told that:
</span>x=3y-8

So replace x in 3x-4y=-9 with x=3y-8 like so: 
3(3y-8)-4y=-9 

Start by distributing the 3: 
(3)(3y)+(3)(-8)+-4y=-9
Now you have: 
9y+-24+-4y=-9&#10;
Combine like terms, now you have: 
5y-24=-9&#10;
add 24 to both sides 
5y-24+24=-9+24&#10;
Now you have:
5y=15
Divide both sides by 5 to get: 
y=3 

Now that you know y=3 plug it into: 
x=3y-8
x=3(3)-8
x=1 

Final answer: 
(1,3)

Which of the following terms has the coefficient with the largest value?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

C: 2x^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading coefficients are the numbers written in front of the variable with the largest exponent. Just like regular coefficients, they can be positive, negative, real, or imaginary as well as whole numbers, fractions or decimals. For example, in the equation -7x^4 + 2x^3 - 11, the highest exponent is 4.
