X-1/3 = y-2/4
4(x-1) = 3(y-2)
4x-4 = 3y-6
4x-3y = -2 --->1
4x +3y =8 ---->2
2-1 ; 6y = 10
y = 10/6 or 5/3
And 4x + 3(10/6) = 8
4x =3
X = 3/4

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the value of y when x equals -14. -2x + 5y = 8

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 5y = 8

Let x=-14

-2(-14) +5y = 8

28 +5y = 8

Subtract 28 from each side

28-28 +5y = 8-28

5y = -20

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -20/5

y = -4
