Question

Solve the system of equations.
4x−8y=−36
−6x+y=32 (1 point)

Answer 1

Solve the system of equations.
6x−3y=−6
9x−3y=−18 (1 point)

Answer 2

To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution.

From the second equation, we can rearrange it to isolate y:
-6x + y = 32
y = 6x + 32

Now substitute this expression for y in the first equation:
4x - 8(6x + 32) = -36
4x - 48x - 256 = -36
-44x - 256 = -36
-44x = 220
x = -5

Now substitute this value for x back into the second equation to find y:
-6(-5) + y = 32
30 + y = 32
y = 32 - 30
y = 2

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -5 and y = 2.
