Multiply and Align y Terms: Now, let's solve the system of equations using the elimination method. We can multiply the first equation by 2 to align the y terms.2(−9y+4x−20)=2(0)−18y+8x−40=0
Add Equations: Next, we add the second equation to the modified first equation.(−18y+8x−40)+(−7y+16x−80)=0+0−25y+24x−120=0
Solve for x: Now, let's solve for x by isolating it on one side.24x=25y+120x=2425y+120
Substitute x to Find y: We substitute x back into one of the original equations to find y.−9y+4((25y+120)/24)−20=0−9y+(100y+480)/24−20=0
Simplify the Equation: Now, let's simplify the equation.−9y+24100y+480−20=0−9y+24100y+24480−20=0−9y+24100y+20−20=0
