Answer 4

It would be alot easier to use the elimination method here to isolate y and then plug that tin but ok..

2x + 3y = 5
8y = x + 26
-x -x


2x + 3y = 5
-x + 8y = 26

Multiply the top by -1 and the bottom by -2.



-2x -3y = -5
2x - 16y = -52

Now add them, -2x + 2x cancel out.

-3y + (-16y) = -19y

-19y = -57
/-19 /-19

y = 3


Now plug in 3 for y and solve for x.
