Answer:
x=−27/26
and y=−192/13
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+y=−21;8x−3y=36
Step: Solve6x+y=−21for y:
6x+y=−21
6x+y+−6x=−21+−6x(Add -6x to both sides)
y=−6x−21
Step: Substitute−6x−21foryin8x−3y=36:
8x−3y=36
8x−3(−6x−21)=36
26x+63=36(Simplify both sides of the equation)
26x+63+−63=36+−63(Add -63 to both sides)
26x=−27
26x
26
=
−27
26
(Divide both sides by 26)
