Question

what is the solution to this system of linear equations? 7x – 2y = –6 8x y = 3 (–6, 3) (0, 3) (1, –5) (15, –1)

Answer 1

7x - 2y = -6 . . . . . . . (1)
8x + y = 3 . . . . . . . . .(2)
From (2): y = 3 - 8x
substituting for y in (1), we have,
7x - 2(3 - 8x) = -6
7x - 6 + 16x = -6
23x = 0
x = 0
y = 3 - 8(0)
y = 3
Therefore, solution = (0, 3)

Answer 2

the answer is (0, 3)
