Answer:
Explanation:
x = 4y - 3
2x +3y = 16
First, plug the equation x = 4y - 3 into the second equation so it looks like this:
2 (4y - 3) + 3y = 16 Now we only have one variable to solve for.
8y - 6 + 3y = 16 Simplify like variables
11y - 6 = 16 try to get y by itself
11y = 16 + 6
11y = 22 divide both sides by 11
y = 2
Now you can put Y back into the first equation
x = 4y - 3
x = 4(2) - 3
x = 8 - 3
x = 5
so the answer is x = 5 and y = 2
