x - 8x = 1 Perform the indicated subtraction on the left side: -7x = 1 Divide each side of the equation by -7 : x = - 1/7
x=1, y=1
8x - 8y = 1Add 8y to each side:8x = 8y + 1Subtract 1 from each side:8x - 1 = 8yDivide each side by 8:y = x - (1/8)
8x - 19 = 3x + 1 5x -19 = 1 5x = 20 x = 4
(4 ± i2) where i2 = -1
