Full solution

Q. Solve.\newline4x8y=44x - 8y = -4\newline4x+9y=3-4x + 9y = 3\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Add equations to eliminate xx: Add the two equations to eliminate xx.4x8y=44x - 8y = -44x+9y=3-4x + 9y = 3—————-\text{----------------}1y=11y = -1
  2. Solve for y: Solve for y.\newliney=1y = -1
  3. Substitute yy into first equation: Substitute y=1y = -1 into the first equation to find xx.4x8(1)=44x - 8(-1) = -44x+8=44x + 8 = -44x=124x = -12
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlinex=124x = -\frac{12}{4}\newlinex=3x = -3
