Question

Solve the system by substitution.
y = 2x + 35
y = 9x

Answer 1

x=5, y=45. (5, 45).

Explanation:

y=2x+35

y=9x

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

2x+35=9x

35=9x-2x

35=7x

x=35/7

x=5

y=9(5)=45

Answer 2

(5,45)

Explanation:

Hi,

y = 2x + 35

y = 9x

To solve, we can substitute 9x for y.

9x = 2x + 35

Subtract 2x...

7x = 35

Divide by 7...

x = 5

Now plug in 5 for x...

y = 9x

y = 9(5)

y = 45

Your answer is (5,45)

I hope this helps :)
