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.

Factor –3y – 18 and choose the correct option.
den301095 [7]
<h3>Factor –3y – 18 is:  -3(y + 6)</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to factor -3y - 18

Use the distributive property,

a(b + c) = ab + bc

From given,

-3y - 18

Factor out the greatest common factor of 3 and 18

The factors of 3 are: 1, 3

The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Then the greatest common factor is 3

Factot out 3 from given expression

-3y - 18 = 3( - y - 6)

Or else we can rewrite as,

-3y - 18 = -3(y + 6)

Thus the given expression is factored
