Answer 1

Answer:

(x, y) = (9, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x + 7y = -2...... (1)

- 8x + 8y = 8......(2)

Multiplying on both sides of the equations (1) & (2) by 8 and 7 respectively, we find:

-64x + 56y = - 16...(3)

-56x + 56y = 56.....(4)

Subtracting equation (4) from equation (3), we find:

-64x + 56y = - 16

-56x + 56y = 56

+ - -

_____________

- 8x = - 72

x = - 72/-8

x = 9

Substituting x = 9 in equation (1), we find:

-8(9) +7y = - 2

-72 +7y = - 2

7y = 72 - 2

7y = 70

y = 70/7

y = 10

(x, y) = (9, 10)

Answer 2

-56x + 49y= -14

- 56x + 56y=64

105y=50

y=0.48

-8x+7(0.48)=-2

-8x+3.36=-2

-8x=-5.36

x=0.67
