Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 8/23

y = 40/23

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x- y = 0

and

-8x+3y = 8

The first step to solve this would be to get what one of the two variables equal. The easiest in this case is y from the first equation.

-5x-y = 0

-y = 5x

y = - 5x

Now you can take this y value and plug it into the section equation.

-8x + 3(-5x) = 8

-8x - 15x = 8

-23x = 8

x = - (8/23)

Once you get the x value you can plug it back into equation one to get y's value

-5*-(8/23)  - y = 0

40/23 - y = 0

y = 40/23
