Solve the following system of equations - 8x - 8y=24 2x + y=-7

Solve the equation using substitution?

x=3.33333

y=0.44444

Step-by-step explanation:

Would equal to

-8x-8y=24 - equation 1

16x+8y = - 56 - equation 2 (because of multiplying both sides by 8)

=-24x=80 (minus-ing equation two by equation one, on all sides)

= 24x = - 80 (switching around the signs)

x = 3.3333

and ...

y = 0.4444
