Answer:
The value of x is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are
[tex]-3x+8y=16...(1)[/tex]
[tex]3x+4y=8...(2)[/tex]
We add the equattion (1) and equation (2) to obtain;
[tex]0x+12y=24[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow y=\frac{24}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow y=2[/tex]
We put [tex]y=2[/tex] into equation (2) to obtain;
[tex]3x+4(2)=8[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 3x+8=8[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 3x=8-8[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\Rightarrow 3x=0[/tex]
Divide through by 3.
[tex]\Rightarrow x=0[/tex]
The solution to the system is
[tex](0,2)[/tex]
The x-value is 0
