Hello Savanna


y=3x-4

2x+4y=26

Can we solve it together ? :) Thx


We need to solve y=3x-4 for y

Now let's start solving this by substitute 3x-4 for y in 2x+4y=26

2x+4(3x-4)=26

14x-16=26

Now let's add 16 to both sides

14x-16+16=26+16

14x=42

Divide both sides by 14 so we can find the value for x

14x/14= 42/14

x=3

Good job:) now we find the value of x

We are not done yet.


Let's find the value for y by substitute 3 for x in y=3x-4

y=3x-4

y=(3)(3)-4

y=9-4

y=5

Yeah well done :)

Final answer : x=3 and y=5

(3,5)


Was that helped ? please rate my answer :0
