The equations : -3x+4y=-30− and 9x + 5 y = 39 intersect at the coordinate (h, k). what is the value of h?

h = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 3x + 4y = - 30 → (1)

9x + 5y = 39 → (2)

We require the value of the x- coordinate at the point of intersection, thus require to eliminate the y- term from the equations

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by - 4

- 15x + 20y = - 150 → (3)

- 36x - 20y = - 156 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term thus eliminating y

- 51x = - 306 ( divide both sides by - 51 )

x = h = 6
