Question

Solve for linear equation by substitution
x + 4y = 6
y=-x+3

Answer 1

Answer: y=1 and x=2

Explanation:

Substitute the y value in the first equation with the given equation for y. Now that all the terms are the same, you can solve for X by combining like terms.

ie: x+4(-x+3)=6

then

ie: x-4x+12=6

then

ie: -3x=-6

then divide -3 from each side and you'll end with x=2.

Now plug in your x value for the y equation.

ie: y=-2+3

And solve.
