The system of linear equations - 2y + y = 8 and - 3x - y=7 is graphed below. What is the solution to the system of equations?

x=1/3 y = - 8

step explanation:

-2y+y = 8 then - y=8 y = - 8

-3x - (-8) = 7

-3x + 8 = 7

-3x=-1

x=1/3 y = - 8

x = 1/3

y = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y + y = 8 equation 1

-3x - y = 7 equation 2

using equation 1 we have:

-2y + y = 8

-y = 8

y = - 8 equation 3

using equation 3 in equation 2 we have:

-3x - y=7

-3x - (-8) = 7

-3x + 8 = 7

-3x = 7-8

-3x = - 1

x = 1/3
