I’m not sure if you want the answer or how to do i’ll just give you both.
multiply the bottom by -4. then it should look like:
8x-6y=-6
-8x+16y=56
then cancel out the x’s and add/subtract the others, giving you: -2y=50. then divide 50 by -2 giving you: y=-25. then find x. plug in y to one of the equations. i usually do the one that hasn’t been messed with. 8x-6(25)=-6. then solve it like a normal two-step equation.
so the answer is: (18,-25)

Ruiz needs to buy a countertop for a kitchen. He calculated the area to be 16 square feet. The actual area is 15.4 square feet.

Marina86 [1]

First, subtract the two values:

16 - 15.4 = 0.6

Now divide this to the actual area:

0.6 / 15.4 = 0.038961039

Multiply by 100:

0.038961039 * 100 = 3.8961039

So the percent error is approximately 3.9%
