3x + 8y = 28
3x + 2y = 4
Find both the x and y coordinates

(- , 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 8y = 28 → (1)

3x + 2y = 4 → (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term will eliminate the x- term

(3x - 3x) + (8y - 2y) = (28 - 4), that is

6y = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

3x + 8(4) = 28

3x + 32 = 28 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

3x = - 4 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = -

Solution is (- , 4 )

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
