1. Problem Description

We are given a system of two linear equations with two variables, xx and yy. We need to find the values of xx and yy that satisfy both equations. The system of equations is:
6x3y=396x - 3y = -39
3x+8y=39-3x + 8y = 39

2. Solution Steps

We can use the substitution or elimination method to solve this system. Let's use the elimination method.
First, we can multiply the second equation by 2 to make the coefficient of xx in the second equation equal to the negative of the coefficient of xx in the first equation.
2(3x+8y)=2(39)2(-3x + 8y) = 2(39)
6x+16y=78-6x + 16y = 78
Now, we have the following system of equations:
6x3y=396x - 3y = -39
6x+16y=78-6x + 16y = 78
Next, we can add the two equations to eliminate xx.
(6x3y)+(6x+16y)=39+78(6x - 3y) + (-6x + 16y) = -39 + 78
13y=3913y = 39
Now we can solve for yy:
y=3913y = \frac{39}{13}
y=3y = 3
Now that we have the value of yy, we can substitute it into either of the original equations to solve for xx. Let's substitute it into the first equation:
6x3(3)=396x - 3(3) = -39
6x9=396x - 9 = -39
6x=39+96x = -39 + 9
6x=306x = -30
x=306x = \frac{-30}{6}
x=5x = -5
Thus, the solution to the system of equations is x=5x = -5 and y=3y = 3.

3. Final Answer

x=5,y=3x = -5, y = 3
