General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Equality Properties

Algebra I

• Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

x - 4y = 12

x - 5y = 15

Step 2: Solve for y

Elimination

1. Subtract 2 equations: y = -3

Step 3: Solve for x

1. Define original equation: x - 4y = 12
2. Substitute in y: x - 4(-3) = 12
3. Multiply: x + 12 = 12
4. Subtract 12 on both sides: x = 0
