- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Explanation:
Step 1: Define Systems
-x + 4y = -8
-5x - 4y = -16
Step 2: Solve for x
Elimination
- Combine equations: -6x = -24
- Isolate x: x = 4
Step 3: Solve for y
- Define equation: -x + 4y = -8
- Substitute in x: -4 + 4y = -8
- Isolate y term: 4y = -4
- Isolate y: y = -1
