Solve the system: 2x-y=8 x+3y=9

2x-y = 8 ..........(1)


x + 3y
= 9 ...........(2)


We will use the elimination method to
solve:


Let us multiply (1) by 3 and add to
(2);


==> 7x =
33


==> x=
33/7


To find y we will substitute in
(1):


2x - y = 8


==> y=
2x - 8 = 2(33/7) - 8


          =(66-56)/7 =
10/7


==> y= 10/7

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
