What is the value of y in the solution to this system of equations 6y+x= -59 x= -2y+9?

Answer 1

y = - 17

Explanation:

6y + x = - 59 → (1)

x = - 2y + 9 → (2)

substitute x = - 2y + 9 into (1)

6y - 2y + 9 = - 59

4y + 9 = - 59 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

4y = - 68 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = - 17
