8, -8

thanks

what he said

Change bottom equation so it’s in terms of x
8x = 40-3y
divide by 8
x = 5-(3/5)y

Now you have two equations that equal x which means they equal eachotger

-y = 5-(3/8)y

-5/8y = 5

multiply by -8/5

y = -8

I think u we’re off a tad bit

I got the same answer as epilektoi

maybe I’m f**king dumb (I am)

just like, do the math

it’s not that difficult

I know it’s not, I just can’t comprehend it

Math is the only thing in the world that I consider myself not terrible at, I can help you later if you want

okay

but I did put -(3/5) instead of /8 initially but that was just a typo the answer is still right

yes

then x = -y so x = 8

8x+3y=40
8(-y)+3y=40
-5y=40
-y=8
y=-8

x=-y
x=8

(8, -8)

just substitute

Ax is 7
