= 8 x^-^-^-^-^- x+3y = 26 The solution to the given system of equations is (x,y). What is the value of y?
Correct answer: 6
(parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key
for this item)
Explanation
= The correct answer is 6. The first equation in the given system is x 8. Substituting 8 for x in the second equation in the given system yields 8+3 =26 3 =18 y . Subtracting 8 from both sides of this equation yields y . = Dividing both sides of this equation by 3 yields y 6. Therefore, the value of y is 6.
