Answer:
(-2,-10)
Step-by-step explanation:
So if y=5x and if y=9x+8 then those should be able to equal each other (substitution):
5x=9x+8
Subtract 5x from both sides:
0=4x+8
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-8=4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x=-2
If x=-2, then we can just plug it back into the first equation:
y=5(-2)
Simplify:
y=-10
Answer:
x = -2
y = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
So if y = 5x
Then you can put that in place of the y
5x = 9x + 8
Get the x's all on one side by subtracting
-4x = 8
Divide both sides by -4
x = -2
Then insert x into the first equation, so
y = 5(-2)
y = -10
