Problem

Find the solution of the system of equations. \[ \begin{array}{l} -9 x+8 y=-26 \\ -9 x-6 y=-12 \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :\(1^{st}\) equation \(-9x + 8y = -26\)

Step 2 :\(2^{nd}\) equation \(-9x - 6y = -12\)

Step 3 :Add \(1^{st}\) and \(2^{nd}\) equation: \((-9x + 8y) + (-9x - 6y) = -26 + (-12)\)

Step 4 :Solve for \(y\): \(y = 4\)

Step 5 :Substitute \(y\) into the \(1^{st}\) equation: \(-9x + 8(4) = -26\)

Step 6 :Solve for \(x\): \(x = 2\)

Step 7 :Solution: (2, 4)
