I don't understand the substitution method?

It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5

Hello! First we should note that the shape of the figure can be broken down into two rectangular prisms, so that the expression will look like:

Volume = (w • h • l) vertical rectangular prism + (w •h • l) horizontal rectangular prism

Thus Volume = (7 • 3 • 3) + (9 • 3 • 4)

The first step is to quickly factor each of the five equations... to do so, find the right factors of the 3rd given number so that they add up in an equal number to the second number... 14 = -7 • -2 and -9 = -7 + -2


a^2 - 9a + 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a - 2)

a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{2,7}



a^2 + 9a + 14 = 0
(a + 7) (a + 2)

a + 7 = 0, a = -7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, -7}


a^2 + 3a - 10 = 0
(a + 5) (a - 2)

a + 5 = 0, a = -5
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{-5, 2}


a^2 - 5a - 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a + 2)
a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, 7}
