Question

y=−6
x=−8y−4
x=


y=

Answer 1

To solve the equations given, we need to simplify the expression for \( x \) in terms of \( y \).

You provided two equations:

1. \( y = -6 \)
2. \( x = -8y - 4 \)

Let's substitute the value of \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation.

Given:
\[ y = -6 \]

Substituting \( y \) into the equation for \( x \):
\[
x = -8(-6) - 4
\]

Calculating:
\[
x = 48 - 4
\]
\[
x = 44
\]

Now we have the values of both variables:
- \( x = 44 \)
- \( y = -6 \)

So, the final answers are:
\[
x = 44
\]
\[
y = -6
\]
