Answer:

b

Explanation:

The value of x in this system of equations is 1.

3x + y = 9

y = –4x + 10

Substitute the value of y in the first equation:

Combine like terms:

Apply the subtraction property of equality:

Apply the division property of equality:

3x + (–4x + 10) = 9

–x + 10 = 9

–x = –1

x = 1

What is the value of y?

y =

Answer:

X = 1

Explanation:

To solve the system of equation by susbtitution:

3x + y = 9

y = –4x + 10

We can follow the steps thus:

Substitute the value of y in the first equation:

As in the second equation y = -4x + 10 we can substitute in the first equation as follows:

3x + y = 9

3x + -4x + 10 = 9

Combine like terms:

3x + -4x + 10 = 9

Like therms are the therms with X (3x - 4x = -1x):

-1x + 10 = 9

Apply the subtraction property of equality:

-1x + 10 = 9

As 10 is suming, it passes to subtracting the 9:

-1x = 9 - 10

-1x = -1

Apply the division property of equality:

-1x = -1

Dividing in -1:

x = -1 / -1

X = 1
