Question

Y=-2
4x-3y=18
solve for x and y

Answer 1

X=3 y=-2

Explanation:

4x-3y=18

4x-3(-2)=18

4x+6=18

4×=18-6

4x=12

divide both sides by 4

X=3

Answer 2

No need to solve for y. The value of y is given. See it?

To find x, plug the given value of y into

4x - 3y = 18.

4x - 3(-2) = 18

4x + 6 = 18

4x = 18 - 6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Answer: y = -2 and x = 3.
