9x+8y=50
-3x+5y=14
I got (11.38, 9.625) Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, josmiceli:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9x+8y=50
-3x+5y=14 times 3 --> -9x + 15y = 42
I got (11.38, 9.625)
===============
9x + 8y = 50
-9x +15y = 42
---------------- Add
23y = 92
y = 4

Check your answers by subbing for x & y in the equations.
9x+8y=50
9*11.38 + 8*9.625 =? 50
102.42 + 77 =? 50 *** not equal
