5x+8y=9 ,2x+3y=4 by substitution method Share with your friends Share 5 Manbar Singh answered this The given equations are :5x + 8y = 9 ....12x + 3y = 4 ...2Now, from 1, we get5x + 8y = 9⇒5x = 9-8y⇒x = 9-8y5substituting the value of x in 2, we get29-8y5 + 3y = 4⇒18-16y+15y5 = 4⇒-y = 20 - 18⇒y = -2Now, x = 9 - 8 -25 = 9 + 165 = 255 = 5So, x = 5; y = -2 is the solution. 8 View Full Answer
