Answer:

Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.

8x+9y=48;12x+5y=21

Steps:

Multiply the first equation by 5,and multiply the second equation by -9.

5(8x+9y=48)

−9(12x+5y=21)

Becomes:

40x+45y=240

−108x−45y=−189

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−68x=51

Then solve−68x=51for x:

−68x /−68 = 51 /−68  (Divide both sides by -68)

x=  −3 /4

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

8x+9y=48

Substitute

−3 /4

8x+9y=48:

8( −3 /4 )+9y=48

9y−6=48 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

9y−6+6=48+6 (Add 6 to both sides)

9y=54

9y /9  =  54 /9  (Divide both sides by 9)   y=6

<em><u>Answer:  x=  −3 /4  and y=6</u></em>

Hope This Helps!  Have A Nice Day!!

Find the value of the expression if x=-7
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: -16

Step-by-step explanation:

49 would be the result of -7 squared. Due to the fact it is negative, it would cancel out to be positive.

For the numerator, 49-1 is equivalent to 48.

48/x+4

-7+4 = -3

48/-3

= -16
