y= 9/11x-17

9x-10y=179

You need to use parentheses to tell us what the problem is. Is equation 1,
y = 9/(11x-17) or is it
y = (9/11)x - 17?

y= 9/11x-17

9x-10y=179

Rewrite them as
11 y - 9 x = -187
and
-10 y + 9x = 179
Add the last two and you get
y = -8

Substitute in any equation for x.
For example,
-88 - 9x = -187
Solve for x to complete the problem.

To find the value of x, we can substitute the value of y = -8 into one of the original equations. Let's use the equation 9x - 10y = 179.

Substituting y = -8 gives us:
9x - 10(-8) = 179

Now simplify the equation:
9x + 80 = 179

Next, we isolate the x term by subtracting 80 from both sides:
9x = 179 - 80
9x = 99

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for x:
x = 99/9
x = 11

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 11 and y = -8.
