Answer:
x=-1, y=8
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system is
-x+y =7
6x+y=14
We make y the subject in the first equation to get:
y=x+7
We put y=x+7 into 6x+y=14 to obtain
[tex]6x + x + 7 = 14[/tex]
6x+x=14-7
7x=7
x=1
We now put x=1 into y=x+7
[tex]y = 1+ 7 = 8[/tex]
The solution is x=1, y=8
Part B
We now verify
-1+8=7 ....True
6(1)+8=14....True
