Answer:

x = -43

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you will have to find the value of x in terms of y using one of the equations and substituting the value in the other equation or vice versa.

Let's assume the numbers x and y, now we write the expressions.

x + y = -47

x - y = -39

Take the second equation and find x.

<u>Calculations:</u>

x - y = -39 (Add y on both sides)

x = -39 + y

Now that you got the value of x in terms of y, we can substitute.

<u>Calculations:</u>

(-39 + y ) + y = -47

2y - 39 = -47

2y = -8

y = -8/2 = -4

y = -4

Now that we got y, we can substitute that value in any of the equations to find x.

x - 4 = -47 or x + 4 = -39

x = -43

Answer:

<em>Answer: a = - 12</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have here two equations, one 18x + 12y = 36, the other ax - 8y = - 24;

Now if we were to consider making these two equations have a common y co - efficient, we would multiply the top equation by 2, the bottom consecutively by - 3. This would make a standard 24y ;

2 * ( 18x + 12y = 36 ),     ⇒       36x + 24y = 72

+ - 3 * (  ax - 8y = - 24 )            + - 3ax + 24y = 72

As you can see, all terms are equivalent, besides that of the co - efficient of x. Knowing that, it would be ax must be multiplied by - 3 to receive 36x, as the bottom equation is multiplied by - 3, where all terms are equivalent to the top terms;

- 3 * ax ⇒ 36x, - 3 * - 12x = 36x,

<em>Answer: a = - 12</em>
