Solve the following system using substitution, showing all work.

-3x + 2y = 16
2x + y = 1
Note: Failure to show work or to use the substitution method will result in no credit.

Answer:

for the first equation the answer will be,


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

if you want me to solve for y instead then the answer will be,


y = (16 + 3x)/(2)

for the second equation the answer will be.


x = (1 - y)/(2)

if you want me to solve for y instead then the answer will be


y = 1 - 2x

~hope this helps~
