Question

Solve the system of equations.

7x+10y=36
y=2x+9

x = ______

y = ______

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Substitute the y in the 1st equation with the 2nd equation.

7x + 10(2x + 9) = 36

7x + 20x + 90 = 36

27x + 90 = 36

3x + 10 = 4

3x = -6

x = -2

So now we can find y.

y = 2x + 9 = 2(-2) + 9 = (-4) + 9 = 5.

So x = -2, y = 5.
