Question

How do you solve the following system?: `-x -8y =-3, 6x -4y = -4`

Answer 1

`x=-175/11,y=26/11`

Explanation:

Writing your System in the form
`-x-8y=-3`
`3x-2y=-2`
Multiplying the first equation by `3` and adding to the second we get
`-26y=-11`
so
`y=26/11`
we get
`-x=-3+8*26/11`
`x=-175/11`
