2x -3y = 13
4x -y = -9
Multiply the second equation by -3 to make the coefficient of Y opposite the first equation.
4x -y = -9 x -3 = -12x + 3y = 27
Now add this to the first equation:
2x -12x = -10x
-3y +3y = 0
13 +27 = 40
Now you have :
-10x = 40
Divide each side by -10:
x = 40 / -10
x = -4
Now you have a value for x, replace that into the first equation and solve for y:
2(-4) - 3y = 13
-8 - 3y = 13
Add 8 to both sides:
-3y = 21
Divide both sides by -3:
y = 21/-3
y = -7
Now you have X = -4 and y = -7
(-4,-7)

The equation of the line is 
Answer: x=1/2
she was wrong, it's supposed to be
Step-by-step explanation: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)
(8)(x)+(8)(−3)+7=2x(4−17)(Distribute)
8x+−24+7=−26x
(8x)+(−24+7)=−26x(Combine Like Terms)
8x+−17=−26x
8x−17=−26x
Step 2: Add 26x to both sides.
8x−17+26x=−26x+26x
34x−17=0
Step 3: Add 17 to both sides.
34x−17+17=0+17
34x=17
Step 4: Divide both sides by 34.
34x/34=17/34 x=1/2
