Answer:
x = -7
y = 47
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation
y = −8x − 9 ... 1
y = −6x + 5 ...2
Equating both expressions
-8x - 9 = -6x + 5
Collect like terms
-8x + 6x = 5 + 9
-2x = 14
x = 14/-2
x = -7
Substitute x = -7 into equation 1.
From 1: y = −8x − 9
y = -8(-7) - 9
y = 56 - 9
y = 47
Hence the solution to the system of equations (x, y) is (-7, 47)
