2x + 9y = -8
Please show steps. Thank you Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = -3x + 13
2x + 9y = -8
-----
Rearrange:
3x + y = 13
2x + 9y = -8
-----
Modify for elimination:
6x + 2y = 26
6x +27y = -24
------------------
Subtract and solve for "y":
25y = 50
y = 2
----
Solve for "x":
3x + y = 13
3x + 2 = 13
3x = 11
x = 11/3
