So the easiest method for this problem would be elimination. This is what you do...
-7x - 6y = 59 -1( -8x - 6y = 58) New equations...
-7x - 6y = 59 8x + 6y = 58 (Add equations) --------------------- 1x = 1 Divide x = 1 Now find the y value. -7(1) - 6y = 59 -7 - 6y = 59 Add 7 to both sides. -6y = 66 Divide y = -11 So your solution is ( 1, -11) I hope this helps love! :)
