1) Substitute y for y in the equation and set them equal to each other.

-10x=-7x+6

*Combine like terms*

2) add 7x to both sides

-3x=6

*isolate x: divide by -3*

3) x=-2

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = -7x + 6

y = -10x

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

  1. Substitute in y [1st Equation]: -10x = -7x + 6
  2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 7x on both sides: -3x = 6
  3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -3 on both sides: x = -2

Step 3: Solve for y

  1. Substitute in x [2nd Equation]: y = -10(-2)
  2. Multiply: y = 20
