Solve the system of equations -2x − 9y = -6 x − y = 0

Question

anonymous · Answer

-2x - 9y = -6
x - y = 0

are those the equations?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

with what method?

anonymous · Answer

I have found the solution to the problem but I need some help using the substitution with x+6y=8
5x+22y=31

anonymous · Answer

isolate x since it is the easiest

x = 8 - 6y

therefore, 5(8-6y) +22y =31

are you good to go?

anonymous · Answer

x=-9/8, no?

anonymous · Answer

no clue, too lazy to solve it

anonymous · Answer

The question requires me to put the values of x and y back into the equations to check to make sure the solutions are correct. I seem to be doing something wrong, because I am not getting the correct outcomes. Any trouble shooting tactics come to mind?

anonymous · Answer

subbing the values of x and y back in is the best way to check if it's correct.
the only trouble shooting tactic would be to make sure not to make a calculation error.

I got
y = 6/11

try that
