Question

Solve the systems of equations using substitution

-3x+2y=12

x=2y-8

Answer 1

-3x + 2y = 12
-3 (2y - 8) + 2y = 12
-6y + 24 + 2y = 12
-4y + 24 = 12
-4y = -12
y = 3

x = 2y - 8
x = 2(3) -8
x = 6-8
x = -2

Therefore, the coordinates are (-2, 3).

Answer 2

y=3 x=-2

Explanation:

-3(2y-8)+2y=12

-6y+24+2y=12

-4y+24=12

-4y=-12

y=3

x=2(3)-8

6-8

x=-2
