Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Are you sure you wanted that "b" in the second equation?
If so, here's how we eliminate y:
1) Multiply the first equation by b: 8bx + 3by = 2b
2) Multiply the second equation by 3: 12x - 3by = -21
3) Combine these two results. We get:
(8b + 12)x = 2b - 21
Here we have eliminated y, but still have an equation in two variables, b and x.
