Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
99x - 44y = -605
-99x + 63y = 738
19y = 133
y = 7
-9x + 28 = 55
-9x = 27
x = -3
(-3, 7)
The answer is y = -8x - 20. If you were to use y = 8x - 20 then you'd get 4 = -44, which, obviously, is not true. To fix it all you need to do is add a negative sign in front of the 8. y = -8x - 20.
You don't simplify rational numbers, but sometimes you can simplify a fraction.
The way to do that is to divide the top and bottom by their greatest common factor.
The greatest common factor of 57 and 69 is 3 . When you divide the top and
bottom by 3 , you have 19/23 . That's the simplest form of that particular fraction.
Y= 8x-9, because I need more characters
