Since −15=9 is not true, there is no solution.

Let's solve the system of equations using substitution.

Given:

y=4x+5 ...(Equation 1)

12x−3y=9 ...(Equation 2)

We can start by substituting Equation 1 into Equation 2 to solve for x:

From Equation 1:

y=4x+5

Now, replace y in Equation 2 with 4x+5:

12x−3(4x+5)=9

Simplify the equation:

12x−12x−15=9

−15=9

Since −15=9 is not true, there is no solution.

Question

Use substitution to solve each system of equations y=4x+5 12x-3y=9
