Please help ! Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y - 8x = -2...1
5y - 12x = -3...2
Multiply (1) by 5
5y - 40x = -10...3
5y - 12x = -3....2
Subtract (2) from (3)
-28x = -7
x = 1/4
Substitute x = 1/4 in (1)
y - 8(1/4) = -2
y - 2 = -2
y = 0
{1/4, 0}
B
Hope this helps.
