Question

Solve the system by substitution
10x=y

2x+y=-24

Answer 1

Answer: x=-2

Y= -20

Explanation

You replace the y in the second equation with 10x. This is because it says 10x=y

2x+10x=12x so you put that

12x=-24

To get x by its self you divide by 12.

-24 divided by 12 is -2.

Now you plug in -2 to either equation as y. I chose the first one because it's easier.

10(-2)=y

-20=y
