Question

Solve using substitution
y = 4x + 11
2x – 5y = -1

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

2x-5(4x+11)=-1

2x-20x+55=-1

-22x+55=-1

-22x+55-55=-1-55

-22x/-22=-56/-22

x=28

Answer 2

x=−3 and y=−1

Explanation:

Substitute y=4x+11y=4x+11 into 2x-5y=-12x−5y=−1

-18x-55=-1−18x−55=−1

Solve for x in -18x-55=-1−18x−55=−1.

x=-3

Substitute x=-3x=−3 into y=4x+11y=4x+11.

y=-1
