Solve the system of equations

y = - 8x

y = - 5x - 9

Hint: replace "y" with an equivalent x term

(,)

Because both answers equal y, we can set them equal to each other. So, - 8x=-5x-9. Add five over to get - 3x=-9. Divide and x=3. Then plug 3 in to solve for y. - 8 (3) = 24. The ordered pair is (3,24).
