1. Problem Description

We need to solve 8 systems of linear equations with two variables, xx and yy.

2. Solution Steps

1. System 1:

5x+y=7-5x + y = -7
3x2y=12-3x - 2y = -12
Multiply the first equation by 2:
10x+2y=14-10x + 2y = -14
Add the modified first equation to the second equation:
(10x+2y)+(3x2y)=14+(12)(-10x + 2y) + (-3x - 2y) = -14 + (-12)
13x=26-13x = -26
x=2x = 2
Substitute x=2x = 2 into the first original equation:
5(2)+y=7-5(2) + y = -7
10+y=7-10 + y = -7
y=3y = 3

2. System 2:

2x+6y=6-2x + 6y = 6
7x+8y=5-7x + 8y = -5
Multiply the first equation by 7:
14x+42y=42-14x + 42y = 42
Multiply the second equation by 2:
14x+16y=10-14x + 16y = -10
Subtract the second modified equation from the first modified equation:
(14x+42y)(14x+16y)=42(10)(-14x + 42y) - (-14x + 16y) = 42 - (-10)
26y=5226y = 52
y=2y = 2
Substitute y=2y = 2 into the first original equation:
2x+6(2)=6-2x + 6(2) = 6
2x+12=6-2x + 12 = 6
2x=6-2x = -6
x=3x = 3

3. System 3:

5xy=21-5x - y = 21
4x+y=6-4x + y = 6
Add the two equations:
(5xy)+(4x+y)=21+6(-5x - y) + (-4x + y) = 21 + 6
9x=27-9x = 27
x=3x = -3
Substitute x=3x = -3 into the second equation:
4(3)+y=6-4(-3) + y = 6
12+y=612 + y = 6
y=6y = -6

4. System 4:

y=3xy = -3x
4x2y=204x - 2y = -20
Substitute y=3xy = -3x into the second equation:
4x2(3x)=204x - 2(-3x) = -20
4x+6x=204x + 6x = -20
10x=2010x = -20
x=2x = -2
Substitute x=2x = -2 into the first equation:
y=3(2)y = -3(-2)
y=6y = 6

5. System 5:

x=3y+1x = 3y + 1
2x+4y=122x + 4y = 12
Substitute x=3y+1x = 3y + 1 into the second equation:
2(3y+1)+4y=122(3y + 1) + 4y = 12
6y+2+4y=126y + 2 + 4y = 12
10y=1010y = 10
y=1y = 1
Substitute y=1y = 1 into the first equation:
x=3(1)+1x = 3(1) + 1
x=4x = 4

6. System 6:

5x8y=17-5x - 8y = 17
2x7y=172x - 7y = -17
Multiply the first equation by 2:
10x16y=34-10x - 16y = 34
Multiply the second equation by 5:
10x35y=8510x - 35y = -85
Add the two modified equations:
(10x16y)+(10x35y)=34+(85)(-10x - 16y) + (10x - 35y) = 34 + (-85)
51y=51-51y = -51
y=1y = 1
Substitute y=1y = 1 into the second equation:
2x7(1)=172x - 7(1) = -17
2x7=172x - 7 = -17
2x=102x = -10
x=5x = -5

7. System 7:

x+9y=1x + 9y = -1
2x+4y=52x + 4y = 5
Multiply the first equation by -2:
2x18y=2-2x - 18y = 2
Add the modified first equation to the second equation:
(2x18y)+(2x+4y)=2+5(-2x - 18y) + (2x + 4y) = 2 + 5
14y=7-14y = 7
y=1/2=0.5y = -1/2 = -0.5
Substitute y=1/2y = -1/2 into the first equation:
x+9(1/2)=1x + 9(-1/2) = -1
x9/2=1x - 9/2 = -1
x=1+9/2=2/2+9/2=7/2=3.5x = -1 + 9/2 = -2/2 + 9/2 = 7/2 = 3.5

8. System 8:

xy=11x - y = 11
3x+10y=63x + 10y = -6
Multiply the first equation by -3:
3x+3y=33-3x + 3y = -33
Add the modified first equation to the second equation:
(3x+3y)+(3x+10y)=33+(6)(-3x + 3y) + (3x + 10y) = -33 + (-6)
13y=3913y = -39
y=3y = -3
Substitute y=3y = -3 into the first equation:
x(3)=11x - (-3) = 11
x+3=11x + 3 = 11
x=8x = 8

3. Final Answer

1. $x = 2, y = 3$

2. $x = 3, y = 2$

3. $x = -3, y = -6$

4. $x = -2, y = 6$

5. $x = 4, y = 1$

6. $x = -5, y = 1$

7. $x = 7/2, y = -1/2$

8. $x = 8, y = -3$
