Question

Please help I am so lost rn(please put step by step if you can)thanks!​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-5 and y= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To eliminate x, add up both equations

9y= 36

divide both sides by 9

y=36/9

y= 8

To eliminate y, multiply the first equation by 8

-16x + 8y = 112

2x+ 8y= 22

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

-18x = 90

Divide both sides by -18

x= 90/-18

x= -5
