Solve the systems of linear equations using substitution

1.x-4y=-10 2.a-3b=24
2x+y=-11 a+2b=-16



3.4j-5k=27 4.m+n=-3
k=j-7 m-4n=27

Explanation:

1 . x - 4y = -10

2x + y = -11

multiply the first equation with 2

2x - 8y = -20

-

2x + y = -11

===============

= 0 - 9y = -9

y = 1

x = -6

-------------------------------------------

2.

a - 3b = 24

-

a + 2b = -16

=============

= 0- 5b = 40

b = - 8

a = 0

and so on
