Solve the following system of equations.

- 9x - 5y=1

- 6x - 7y=8

Let's solve by eliminating

x

. Since 18 is the lowest common multiple, let's multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by - 2.

Add the two equations.

Divide by - 11 to isolate

y

y = - 2

Substitute

y

=

-

2

into either of the 2 equations, I'll just use the second one.

x = - 1
