substitute 19 - 8y on the variable x of the first equation. so, it will look like this:
9(19-8y) + 7y = -24
then, you can solve for y now.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[9(19-8y)+7y=-24\] etc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what awesome one said. now you have one equation with one unknown
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I couldn't solve it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok multiply out using distributive law

\[38-72y+7y=-24\]
collect like terms
\[38-65y=-24\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtract 38
\[-65y=-62\]
divide
\[y=\frac{62}{65}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i made a mistake
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[
9(19-8y) + 7y = -24
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[171-65y=-24\]
\[-65y=-24-171=-195\]
\[y=\frac{-195}{-65}=3\]

now since y = 3 substitute back in equation 2 to get \[x=19-8\times 3=-5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so satellite73 the solution ordered pair is (-5,3) correct
