Juan solved the system of linear equations 8x - 3y = -1 and -5x +2y = 1. a. First, he multiplied the equation 8x - 3y = -1 by 2 to get
b. Next, he multiplied the equation -5x +2y = 1 by 3 to get
c. Then he added the two resulting equations together to get
d. Finally, he substituted the result into one of the original equations and solved
for the variable to get
e. Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations written as an order
pair is
