Answer: y = -1 and x = 3

Explanation:

x=-2y+6

3x-4y = 28

There are two ways to solve this: 1) solve directly with the equations, and 2) graph the line and look for the intersection.

---

Use the definition of x from the first equation and substitute it in the second:

3x-4y = 28

3(-2y+6)-4y = 28

-6y + 18 -4y = 28

-10y = 10

y = - 1

---

Graph the two lines and find the value of y at the point they intersect. See the attachment.

y = -1 at x= 8

=======================

For the second question:

y=3x-10

4x+5y=7

---

4x+5y=7

4x+5(3x-10)=7

4x+15x-50=7

19x = 57

x = 3
