Full solution

Q. Solve.\newline4x+9y=144x + 9y = 14\newlinex+8y=8x + 8y = -8\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Isolate xx in second equation: Step 11: Use the substitution method to solve for xx and yy. Start by isolating xx in the second equation:\newlinex+8y=8x + 8y = -8\newlinex=88yx = -8 - 8y
  2. Substitute xx in first equation: Step 22: Substitute xx in the first equation:\newline4(88y)+9y=144(-8 - 8y) + 9y = 14\newline3232y+9y=14-32 - 32y + 9y = 14\newline23y32=14-23y - 32 = 14
  3. Solve for y: Step 33: Solve for y:\newline23y=14+32-23y = 14 + 32\newline23y=46-23y = 46\newliney=4623y = \frac{46}{-23}\newliney=2y = -2
  4. Substitute yy back into equation for xx: Step 44: Substitute yy back into the equation for xx:x=88(2)x = -8 - 8(-2)x=8+16x = -8 + 16x=8x = 8
