Question
- x - 9y = 0
x - 4y = -5
Step1: Subtract the two equations to eliminate \(x\)
We have the system:
\[
$$\begin{cases}
x - 9y = 0 & (1)\\
x - 4y = -5 & (2)
\end{cases}$$
\]
Subtract equation \((1)\) from equation \((2)\):
\[
$$\begin{align*}
(x - 4y) - (x - 9y) &= -5 - 0\\
x - 4y - x + 9y &= -5\\
5y &= -5
\end{align*}$$
\]
Step2: Solve for \(y\)
Divide both sides of \(5y = -5\) by \(5\):
\[
y=\frac{-5}{5}=-1
\]
Step3: Substitute \(y = - 1\) into equation \((1)\) to find \(x\)
Substitute \(y=-1\) into \(x - 9y = 0\):
\[
$$\begin{align*}
x-9\times(-1)&=0\\
x + 9&=0\\
x&=-9
\end{align*}$$
\]
