Solve the system by any method.


First get rid of the decimals by multiplying every
term on both sides of both equations by 10.



To make the y's cancel, multiply the
top equation by 9 and the bottom equation
by 8



Now add vertically term by term:





Divide both side by 111



Sustitute that into







Add 18 to both sides:



Divide both sides by -9:
