Question

8X +6Y+4 Y=-3X+9 using substitution what numbers are the variables X and Y

Answer 1

Answer:

(5,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

8X +6Y=4

Y=-3X+9

Substitute the second equation into the first.  Every place you see y put -3x+9)

8x +6(-3x+9)=4

Distribute

8x-18x +54 = 4

Combine like terms

-10x +54 = 5

Subtract 54 from each side

-10x +54-54=4-54

-10x = -50

Divide by -10

-10x/-10 = -50/-10

x= 5

Now we need to find y

y = -3x+9

y = -3(5) +9

y = -15+9

y= 6
