Y = x-4

2x + y = 5
2x + (x-4) = 5
3x - 4 = 5
3x = 9
x = 3

Substitution is done by replacing a variable for an equation. In this case:

2x+y=5
would be
2x+(x-4)=5 (If you notice, you see that the value of x was replaced in the main equation)

Then you would solve as normal.

2x+x-4=5
3x-4=5
3x=9
x=3

Then we can plug in x for any one of the equations to find y.
y=x-4
y=3-4
y=-1

So the solution is x=3 and y=-1.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(-5, 6) and B(3, 2). You must show all work in order to rece
OLga [1]
Midpoint Formula = M = ( \frac{ x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}) + ( \frac{ y_{1} + y_{2}} {2})

We are given the coordinates: A(-5,6) and B(3,2)
Plug the values into the equation to get:
M = ((3 - 5)/2, (2 + 6)/2)
Now, just solve it down to get M = (-1,4).

The midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(-5,6) and B (3,2) is (-1,4). Hope this helps ALot and have a wonderful day!
