Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
-1-6 is like 1+6 but with a negative sign before it.
Answer:
5x + 6y = 20_____(1)
8x - 6y = -46_____(2)
Solving simultaneously:
Eqn(1) + Eqn(2)
5x + 8x + 6y + (-6y) = 20 + (-46)
13x = -26
x = -2
substituting this into Eqn (1):
5(-2) + 6y = 20
-10 + 6y = 20
6y = 30
y = 5
hence:
x = -2,y = 5.
