Answer:
x=−1 and y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Add these equations to eliminate y: 5x=−5
Then solve 5x=−5 for x:
5x=−5
5x/5=−5/5 (Divide both sides by 5)
x=−1
Write down an original equation: 8x+y=−1
Substitute −1 for x in 8x+y=−1: (8)(−1)+y=−1
y−8=−1 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
y−8+8=−1+8 (Add 8 to both sides)
y=7
