Solve the system of equations by the elimination method 9/x++3/8y=-9/4 and -1/9x+5/4y=1/9

1 answer

first step is usually to get rid of the nasty fractions. I see there's a typo in the first equation. I'll just assume 9/4 x. If wrong, fix it and follow the same steps to solution.

18x + 3y = -18
-4x + 45y = 4
or

6x + y = -6
-4x + 45y = 4

multiply to get rid of x:

12x + 2y = -12
-12x + 135y = 12
Now add the two equations to get
137y = 0
y = 0
so, x = -1

If I made the wrong guess, fix it and follow similar steps to solution.
