Q. Solve the system of equations.\newline6x5y=327x+8y=46x=y= \begin{array}{l} 6 x-5 y=-32 \\ -7 x+8 y=46 \\ x=\square \\ y=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify Variable to Eliminate: Identify the variable to eliminate. We can choose to eliminate either 'xx' or 'yy'. For this problem, we will eliminate 'xx' by finding a common multiple for the coefficients 66 and 77.
  2. Multiply Equations by Common Coefficients: Multiply the first equation by 77 and the second equation by 66 to obtain a common coefficient for 'xx'.\newlineFirst equation: 7(6x5y)=7(32)7(6x - 5y) = 7(-32) gives us 42x35y=22442x - 35y = -224.\newlineSecond equation: 6(7x+8y)=6imes466(-7x + 8y) = 6 imes 46 gives us 42x+48y=276-42x + 48y = 276.
  3. Add Equations to Eliminate Variable: Add the two new equations to eliminate 'x'.\newline(42x35y)+(42x+48y)=224+276(42x - 35y) + (-42x + 48y) = -224 + 276\newline42x42x35y+48y=5242x - 42x - 35y + 48y = 52\newline0x+13y=520x + 13y = 52
  4. Solve for y: Solve for 'y'. Divide both sides of the equation by 1313 to isolate 'y'.\newline13y13=5213\frac{13y}{13} = \frac{52}{13}\newliney=4y = 4
  5. Substitute yy into Equation: Substitute y=4y = 4 into one of the original equations to solve for 'xx'. We will use the first equation 6x5y=326x - 5y = -32.
    6x5(4)=326x - 5(4) = -32
    6x20=326x - 20 = -32
  6. Isolate x Term: Add 2020 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with 'x'.\newline6x20+20=32+206x - 20 + 20 = -32 + 20\newline6x=126x = -12
  7. Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 66 to solve for 'x'.\newline6x6=126\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{-12}{6}\newlinex=2x = -2
  8. Write Solution as Coordinate Point: Write the solution as a coordinate point. The solution is (2,4)(-2, 4).
