Question

Using Substitution solve: y=x+5
4x+y=20

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

So first, plugin y to your equation, it should look like this: 4x+x+5+20. Now, we can solve this. Next, we have two x's so we can combine them. The equation will now look like this: 5x+5=20. Now, we have an extra 5 laying around that we need to get rid of, so we can subtract that 5 to both sides of the equation and we get this: 5x-5=20-5 which ends up being 5x=15. Now, we just divide both ides by 5 and since 15 divided by 5 is 3, we get: x=3
