Question

How would I solve y=5x-2 & -14x+y=16 in a substitution equation

Answer 1

You would substitute the given value of “y” into the equation of -14x+y=16
-14x+5x-2=16

Then you would solve for “x”
x=2

You would then substitute the value of “x” into the equation to solve for “y”
y=5(2)-2

Which would then give you a value for “y”
y=12
So the answer is (2,12)
