Question

Which of the following best describes the solution of the system of equations below?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

-8x + y = -3..... (equ 1)

9x - y = 3.....(equ2)

y = 8x - 3

-y = -9x + 3(divide both sides by -1*)

hence ..y = 9x - 3

then write y = y in terms of x

which will give you 8x - 3 = 9x - 3

and solve for x which will be N/A
