Solve the system by using the elimination method.

(8, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x - 5y = 20 → (1)

- 3x + 5y = - 4 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate the y- term

2x + 0 = 16

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

- 3(8) + 5y = - 4

- 24 + 5y = - 4 ( add 24 to both sides )

5y = 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 4

solution is (8, 4 )

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
