\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ (equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (equation 2) $\"\"$

\

Since $\"\"$

\

Rewrite the second equation for x.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Add 9 to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

Now Substitute 8 for x in either equation to find the value of y.

\

$\"\"$ (equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (replace x by 8)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 16 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Commutative property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

The solution is $\"\"$ $\"\"$

The solution is $\"\"$ .
