Solution

Sure, let's solve these equations step by step.

  1. We have two equations:

    3x - 8y = 29 (equation 1)

    x = y - 2 (equation 2)

  2. From equation 2, we can express x in terms of y.

  3. We substitute equation 2 into equation 1:

    3(y - 2) - 8y = 29 3y - 6 - 8y = 29 -5y - 6 = 29 -5y = 35 y = -7

  4. Substitute y = -7 into equation 2 to find x:

    x = -7 - 2 x = -9

So, the solution to the system of equations is x = -9 and y = -7.
