Substitute y=−3: Substitute y=−3 into the equation 9x+8y=−6 and then simplify.Substitute −3 for y in 9x+8y=−6.9x+8(−3)=−69x−24=−6
Isolate variable term x: Isolate the variable term x.9x−24=−6 Add 24 to both sides of the equation.9x−24+24=−6+249x=18
Solve for x: Solve for x.9x=18Divide both sides by 9.99x=918x = 2
Find ordered pair solution: We found:x=2y=−3What is the solution in the form of an ordered pair?Substitute x=2 and y=−3 into (x,y).The solution is (2,−3).
