How much marks am I getting misread the question Edxcel

Basically u had to multiple 9 to a side and do simultaneous to find x and y, I got the wrong values for them as I multiplied 9 to the wrong side. Out of 10 how much will I be getting?

Depends how strict the mark scheme is. There's no way for us to tell :smile:
I'm sure your teacher can give you more insight on the question when it's been marked

Based off my experiences, you are only losing a few marks. But as @flaurie said, it depends on the mark scheme.
