Question

Please help...find solution x-coordinate?

Answer 1

How to begin?

Answer 2

x + 3y = 16
x = 16 -3y

Answer 3

4x - 5y = -38
4(16 - 3y) -5y = -38
solve for y

Answer 4

64 - 12y - 5y = -38

-17y = -102

y = 6?

Answer 5

64-12y-5y=-38
-17y=-102
y = 6

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Now plug y = 6 into x + 3y = 16 and solve for x.

Answer 8

Great thank you!! Now I plug y in either equation to find x?
