What is the x-value of the solution to the system of equations? 5x+4y=8 2x-3y=17 -3 -2 4 5

Answer:             x = 4Step-by-step explanation:5x + 4y = 8   ⇒   4y = 8 - 5x  ⇒  y = (8 - 5x)÷42x − 3y = 172x - 3(8 - 5x)÷4 = 17               ×4            ×4     8x - 3(8 - 5x) = 688x - 24 + 15x = 68           +24       +24            23x  =  92              ÷23      ÷23                x = 4
