Question

Hello I need help please :)

Answer 1

Given: The system of equations below...

`\begin{gathered} y=2x-2 \\ -4x-y=26 \end{gathered}`

To Determine: The value of x and y

Using substitution method, Substitute for y in the second equation

`\begin{gathered} -4x-y=26 \\ -4x-(2x-2)=26 \\ -4x-2x+2=26 \\ -6x=26-2 \\ -6x=24 \\ x=(24)/(-6) \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}`

Substitute for x in the first equation to solve for y

`\begin{gathered} y=2x-2 \\ y=2(-4)-2 \\ y=-8-2 \\ y=-10 \end{gathered}`

ence,

x = -4; y = -10
