9x+8y=-5 -8x+y=45 solve by substitution method
X= Y=
y = 8x + 45 9x+ 8(8x+45) = -5 9x + 8(8x + 45) = -5 9x + 64x + 360 = -5 73x = - 365 x = -5 Substitute x =-5 into 9x + 8y = - 5 -45 + 8y = - 5 8y = 40 y = 5
or from 9x+8y=-5 8y=-9x-5 y=(-9x-5)/8 sub to -8x+y=45 to get -8x+(-9x-5)/8 =45 , mult by 8 on both sides to get -64x+(-9x-5)=360 -73x-5=360 -73x=360+5=365 x=-365/73=-5 ans, sub this to 8y=-9x-5 8y=-9(-5)-5 8y=45-5=40 y=40/8=5 ans
my pc keeps hanging up on me..lol
do you wanna know how you check if you work is correct?
there is another method that you need to learn, you can use this also for checking your work..by addition or subtraction simultaneously
9x+8y=-5 9x+8y=-5 -8x+y=45 mult by 8,then subtract -( -64x+8y=360) ------------- 73x +0=-365 x=-365/73=-5 now sub this to the other EQ
good luck now stacy,,have fun..lol
thanks
