Question

Hi, I dont understand this. can anyone explain how to solve it ASAP?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+4y=8

2x-3y=17

--------------

2(5x+4y)=2(8)

-5(2x-3y)=-5(17)

---------------------

10x+8y=16

-10x+15y=-85

-----------------

23y=-69

y=-69/23

y=-3

5x+4(-3)=8

5x-12=8

5x=8+12

5x=20

x=20/5

x=4
