Question

Y = 3x - 2
x - y = 4

Answer 1

x = -1, y = -5

Explanation:

y = 3x - 2

x - y = 4

x - y = 4

x - (3x - 2) = 4

x - 3x + 2 = 4

-2x + 2 = 4

-2x = 2

x = -1

x - y = 4

-1 - y = 4

-y = 5

y = -5

Check:

x - y = 4

-1 - (-5) = 4

-1 + 5 = 4

4 = 4

Answer 2

x=-1, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-2 (1)

x-y=4 (2)

sub (1) into (2)

x-(3x-2)=4

x-3x+2=4

-2x=2

x=-1

sub x=-1 into (1)

y=3(-1)-2

=-3-2

y = -5

Therefore: x=-1, y=-5 :))
