Question 452121
I need some help with the substitution method.
9x +8y= -21
-6x +y=33
I can't figure out the ordered pair.
----
Solve the lower equation for "y":
y = 6x+33
---
Substitute into the upper equation:
9x + 8(6x+33) = -21
9x + 48x + 264 = -21
57x = 285
---
x = 5
---
Solve for "y":
y = 6x+33
y = 6*5+33 = 63
