Question

PLEASE SOLVE (x−3y=5)+(8x−7y=6)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -1

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3y = 5     ----------------(I)

8x - 7y = 6 ----------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-8) and then add the two equations

(I)*(-8)     -8x + 24y = -40

(II)           8x   - 7y   = 6    {Now add and x will be eliminated}

                       17y = -34     {Divide both sides by 17}

                           y = -34/17

y = -2

Plugin  y  =-2 in equation (I)

x - 3*(-2) = 5

x  + 6 = 5         {Subtract 6 from both sides}

     x = 5 - 6

x = - 1

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=1\frac{2}{9} +1\frac{1}{9}y$

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3y + 8x - 7y = 5 + 6

9x - 10y = 11

9x - 10y + 10y = 11 + 10y

9x = 11 + 10y

9x ÷ 9 = 11 + 10y ÷ 9

$x=1\frac{2}{9} +1\frac{1}{9}y$
