Question

How do I solve the symptoms of linear equations by substitution
2x-y=23
x-9=-1​

Answer 1

Yes!! the person above got the correct answer!! hope you have an awesome day!!

Answer 2

x = 8, y = -7

in coordinate form: (8,-7)

Explanation:

first, find x using the second equation:

x - 9 = -1

add 9 to both sides of the equation

x - 9 + 9 = - 1 + 9

x = -1 + 9

x = 8

next, substitute x for 8 in the first equation:

2x - y = 23

2 * 8 - y = 23

16 - y = 23

16 - y + y = 23 + y

16 = 23 + y

16 - 23 = y

y = -7

also, I had this exact question on an assignment earlier today ahah
