Question

Use substitution to solve the

following system of equations.
9x + 5y = 32 AND y = -3x + 4

Answer 1

x = -2

y = 10

Explanation:

Since they already gave y as -3x +4, you will then have to substitute that amount into the formula

9x + 5y = 32

By doing that you get

9x +5(-3x+4) = 32

9x -15x +20 = 32

Then, you ill take 20 to the other side to subtract 32, which will get you

-6x = 12

Then, you will get x = -2

Then substitute that for the equation

y = -3x + 4

You will get

y = -3(-2) + 4,

You will get y as 10

SO then your final answer is x = -2, y = 10
