Solve the system of equations :-6x - y = -16-6x -5y = -8

Sagot :

The given system of equation are :

-6x - y = -16

-6x -5y = -8

On subtracting both the equation we get :

-6x -y -(-6x -5y) = -16 -(-8)

-6x -y +6x +5y = -16 +8

-6x + 6x +5y -y = -8

4y = -8

4y = -8

Divide both side by 4:

4y/4 = -8/4

y = -2

Substitute the value of y =- 2 in the any one equation:

-6x - y = -16

-6x - (-2)= -16

-6x + 2 = -16

-6x = -16 -2

-6x = -18

x = 3

Answer : x = 3, y = -2
