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
