Question

5. Solve this system of equations. 3x + 4y = 36 y = -x +8.

Answer 1

x = -4 and y = 12

Explanation:

Since you have y = -x + 8 you can substitute this into the first equation where y was so you have 3x + 4(-x + 8) = 36.

That way, there is only one variable and it is easier to solve.

3x + 4(-x + 8) = 36

3x -4x + 32 = 36

-x +32 = 36

-x = 4

x = -4

Plugging this into the equation y = -x +8,

y = -(-4) + 8

y = 4 + 8

y = 12
