• Equality Properties

Algebra I

• Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
• Solving systems of equations by graphing

Explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

-20y - 7x = -14

10y - 2x = -4

Step 2: Rewrite systems

10y - 2x = -4

1. Subtract 10y on both sides: -2x = -10y - 4
2. Divide -2 on both sides: x = 5y + 2

Step 3: Redefine systems

-20y - 7x = -14

x = 5y + 2

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitution

1. Substitute in x: -20y - 7(5y + 2) = -14
2. Distribute -7: -20y - 35y - 14 = -14
3. Combine like terms: -55y - 14 = -14
4. Add 14 on both sides: -55y = 0
5. Divide -55 on both sides: y = 0

Step 5: Solve for x

1. Define original equation: 10y - 2x = -4
2. Substitute in y: 10(0) - 2x = -4
3. Multiply: 0 - 2x - 4
4. Simplify: -2x = -4
5. Divide -2 on both sides: x = 2
