Answer:
A) The solution set is (6,-8).
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - y = 26
-3x - 3x Subtract 3x from both sides
-y = -3x + 26 Divide both sides by -1
y = 3x - 26
Now plug this into 7x + 8y = -22 to solve for x
7x + 8(3x - 26) = -22 Distribute
7x + 24x - 208 = -22 Combine like terms
31x - 208 = -22
+ 208 + 208 Add 208 to both sides
31x = 186 Divide both sides by 31
x = 6
Plug this into y = 3x - 26 to solve for y
y = 3(6) - 26 Multiply
y = 18 - 26 Subtract
y = -8
