The question is of algebra of lesson linear equation in two variable which is ...Solve The Following Simultaneous Equations

I hope you will help me in this please

Answer 1

5x+2y=4

x+8y=26

Multiply the first equation by -4 to get -20x -8y =-16 then add the second equation to get -19x =10 where the 8y terms cancel out. So x= -10/19 use this value of x to solve for y by substituting back into the original equation x+8y =26 this give -10/19=8y =26 -10 +152y = 494 so 152y =504 and y=504/152 reducing this fraction down shows that 8 is a common factor of both the numerator and the denominator so y=63/19 take either equation and plug in the x and y values to verify the right side of the equation.
