Solve the System by Using the Elimination-By- Addition Method $$\left( \begin{array} { c c c c } x &-& 9 y & = & 62 \\2 x& + &8 y & = & - 58\end{array} \right)$$

question 40

Short Answer

Solve the system by using the elimination-by- addition method. $$\left( \begin{array} { c c c c } x &-& 9 y & = & 62 \\2 x& + &8 y & = & - 58\end{array} \right)$$ If the equations of the system are dependent, or if a system is inconsistent, so indicate. In those cases enter dependent or inconsistent . Otherwise, enter your answer as an ordered pair ( x , y ).

Definitions:

Logarithm

The exponent or power to which a base must be raised to produce a given number, commonly used in the operations of multiplication and division in a compressed form.

Change-of-Base Formula

A formula that allows the base of a logarithm to be changed, facilitating easier calculation.

Properties of Logarithms

The properties of logarithms are mathematical rules that apply to logarithmic functions, including product, quotient, and power rules.

Logarithm

The power to which a base, such as 10, must be raised to produce a given number. Expressed as \(log_{base}(number) = exponent\).
