Question

What is the solution to the system of equations , use substitution twice to get your ordered pair , x,y answer . Y=2x-6' y=4x

Answer 1

(x, y) = (-3, -12)

Explanation:

Use either equation to substitute for y in the other:

2x -6 = 4x

-6 = 2x . . . . . subtract 2x

-3 = x . . . . . . divide by 2

Substitute this value for x in the second equation.

y = 4·(-3)

y = -12

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -12).
