Maslowich3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What he did at the end of the given equations is solve for x in x + 8y= 21

x = 21 - 8y                Substitute that result in the top equation.

<u><em>7(21 - 8y) + 5y = 14 </em></u>  is the correct step To continue Remove the brackets

147 - 56y + 5y = 14   Combine

147 - 51y = 14             Add 51y to both sides.

147 = 51y + 14            Subtract 14 from both sides.

133 = 51y                   divide by 51

y = 2.61 rounded.

The incorrect step is <em><u>underlined and italicized.</u></em>
