-8x + 3y= 18
-7x - 2y = 25

x=y+7

Step-by-step explanation:

−8x+3y−18=−7x+2y−25

Step 1: Add 7x to both sides.

−8x+3y−18+7x=−7x+2y−25+7x

−x+3y−18=2y−25

Step 2: Add -3y to both sides.

−x+3y−18+−3y=2y−25+−3y

−x−18=−y−25

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−x−18+18=−y−25+18

−x=−y−7

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

−y−7

−1

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
