Answer:
(-7,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 different ways to solve a system of equations and the one I'm going to show you will work for all systems. To start we will solve one of the equations for either X or Y it doesn't matter which one so I will choose the second one. Divide both sides by negative 4 and you will have the solved equation. x=1+2y Now we know what x equals so we can plug "1+2y" into the other equation where we see an X and we will get -8(1+2y)=24-8y and since we only have one variable now we can solve to get what Y is. The first step is distributing -8-16y=24-8y now lets put the Y's together on one side and the numbers together on the other -32=8y and just divide both sides by 8 to get the value of Y -4=y Now that we have Y we can plug -4 into either equation as Y to get the value of X I will use the second equation. -4x=-4-8(-4) and solve for X -4x=-4+32 -4x=28 x=-7 So now we have x and y and we can write it as out solution (-7, -4)
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
Answer:
(-7, -4).
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x = 24 - 8y
-4x = -4 - 8y
If we subtract them we eliminate y:
-4x = 28
x = -7.
Substitute for x in the first equation:
8* -7 = 24 - 8y
8y = 24 + 8* -7
8y = 24 - 56
8y = -32
y = -4.
