answer:
x = ( -y + 49 )/ 8
step-by-step explanation:
good morning!
lets start off by adding both equations
4x + 16y = 32
4x + y = 17
+ ____________
8x + y = 49 <--------- our new starting equation
first we need to move the variable ( y ) to the other side of the equation, in other words separate them
8x = 49 + y
then lets rearrange the expression
8x = −y + 49
we need to still divide both sides by 8 to get ( x ) by itself
8x/ 8 = ( −y + 49 )/ 8
turning this equation into your new answer!
x = ( -y + 49 )/ 8 <-------------- our answer!
i hope this helps you! and if i read the question/ or made it a little confusing then please let me know, i hope you have a good rest of you day :)
