Answer:
-16/3
x = -16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
9x - 8y = 16
And, y = -8
By applying the value of y in the expression we get,
9x - 8y = 16
=> 9x- 8(-8) = 16
=> 9x + 64 = 16
=> 9x = 16 - 64
=> 9x = -48
Dividing both LHS and RHS by 3, we get,
=> 3x = -16
=> x = -16/3
Hence, the value of
x = -16/3
