Solve the system using the subsitition method x-9y65 and 6y-8x8?

Answer

I assume the equations were x-9y=65 and 6y-8x=8

Rearrange the first equation to x=65+9y, substitute this value for x into the second equation to get the following:

6y - 8*(65+9y) = 8

6y-520-72y = 8

Rearranging this equation gives,

-66y = 528 or y=-8

Substitute this value for y in either of the original equations and solve for x.

x-9*(-8) = 65

x+72 = 65 or x = -7
