Solve the system of equations. 9x+4y=6-9x + 4y = 6 and 9x+5y=339x + 5y = -33

Full solution

Q. Solve the system of equations. 9x+4y=6-9x + 4y = 6 and 9x+5y=339x + 5y = -33
  1. Combine equations: Add the two equations together to eliminate the xx variable.\newline9x+4y=6-9x + 4y = 6\newline+9x+5y=33+ 9x + 5y = -33\newline-----------------\newline9y=279y = -27
  2. Solve for y: Divide both sides of the equation 9y=279y = -27 by 99 to solve for y.\newliney=27/9y = -27 / 9\newliney=3y = -3
  3. Substitute y into equation: Substitute y=3y = -3 into one of the original equations to solve for xx. We'll use the first equation 9x+4y=6-9x + 4y = 6.
    9x+4(3)=6-9x + 4(-3) = 6
    9x12=6-9x - 12 = 6
  4. Isolate x term: Add 1212 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.\newline9x12+12=6+12-9x - 12 + 12 = 6 + 12\newline9x=18-9x = 18
  5. Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation 9x=18-9x = 18 by 9-9 to solve for x.\newlinex=189x = \frac{18}{-9}\newlinex=2x = -2
