Question

Pls…… HELPPPP I have no clue what I’m doing

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 and y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

-8x+y=-24 ....(1)

and

3x-2y=-4 .....(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2.

-16x+2y=-48 ....(3)

Adding equation (2) and (2).

3x-2y+(-16x+2y) = -4-48

3x-16x= -52

-13x = -52

x = 4

Put the value of x in equation (1)

-8(4)+y=-24

-32 + y = -24

y = -24+32

y = 8

Hence, the solutions of the equations are x = 4 and y = 8.
