Question

Solve the system of equations.
y=8x-6
y=5x+9​

Answer 1

x = 5 and y = 34

Explanation:

I used substitution method and did this ;

8x - 6 = 5x + 9 .....put like terms together

8x - 5x = 9 + 6

3x = 15

x = 5

y = 8 (5) - 6

y = 40 - 6

y = 34

Answer 2

x= 5 , y = 34

Explanation:

8x-6=5x+9

3x-6=9

3x=15

x=5

-

8(x5) - 6 =

34

25(x5) +9 =

34
