Full solution

Q. Solve.\newline2xy=72x - y = -7\newliney=9y = -9\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Substitute y=9y = -9: Substitute y=9y = -9 into the first equation 2xy=72x - y = -7.\newline2x(9)=72x - (-9) = -7\newline2x+9=72x + 9 = -7
  2. Isolate variable xx: Isolate the variable xx by subtracting 99 from both sides of the equation.2x+99=792x + 9 - 9 = -7 - 92x=162x = -16
  3. Divide by 22: Divide both sides of the equation by 22 to solve for x.\newline2x2=162\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-16}{2}\newlinex=8x = -8
  4. Find ordered pair: We have found the values of xx and yy:x=8x = -8y=9y = -9The solution in the form of an ordered pair is (8,9)(-8, -9).
