Question

GIVING AWAY 10 POINTS!!!!!! What is the solution to the system of equations? x = y + 4

2x - 3y = -2

Answer 1

x= -6, y= 10

Explanation:

x= y + 4

2x = 3y - 2

If we replace "x" with "y+4" in the second equation we get:

2(y+4) = 3y - 2

2y + 8 = 3y - 2

2y - 3y = -2-8

-y = -10

y = 10

Now we can go back to the first equation and solve for x:

x = y + 4

x = 10 + 4 = 14
