Answer:
Explanation:
12x = 48 - 8y
10x + 8y = 38
———————
12x + 8y = 48
10x + 8y = 38
———————
12x + 8y = 48
-1(10x + 8y = 38)
————————
12x + 8y = 48
-10x - 8y = -38
————————
2x = 10
x = 10/2 = 5
If x = 5 then:
10x + 8y = 38
10(5) + 8y = 38
50 + 8y = 38
8y = 38 - 50
8y = -12
y = -12/8
y = -3/2
Therefore, x = 5 and y = -3/2
X - 8 = -10...add 8 to both sides
x = -10 + 8
x = -2 <==
