Answer:

x=7

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to use substitution you need to get one of the equations to have a variable by itself. I'm going to use the first one and get x by itself.

x-3y= 4  So firstly add the 3y to both sides since you want x alone.

 +3y  +3y

x=3y+4

Now that you have x alone you can plug this into the second equation for x.

4(3y+4)-2y=26

Next distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parenthesis.

4(3y)+4(4)-2y=26    Simplify.

12y+16-2y=26         Now add or subtract your like terms together (12y-2y).

10y+16=26              Next subtract 16 from both sides.

     -16  -16

10y=10                   Finally, to get y alone divide by 10 on both side.

y=1

To find x you plug y back into one of the equations you started with. I'm using x-3y=4  Again.

x-3(1)=4        Distribute the -3 to the one.

x-3=4           Now add 3 to both sides.

+3 +3

x=7

Top 1. Substitute 3y on both sides of the equation.
Bottom 2. Substitute 2y on both sides of the equation

3y and 2y cancel

Divide x by 4 and 26 by 4.

Is there die points on a graph or decimal?

I have not done this for years but there is many calculators that can show you step by step online. I recommend using these

37.26 m +2.7 m + 0.0015=
Stells [14]
Add the two values being multiplied by m
37.26 + 2.7 = 39.96
39.96 m + 0.0015 is the most simplified you can get without having a way of finding the value of m. I apologize if I am mistaken, but I'm fairly certain! :)

X^2 - (x-y)^2 •y. If x = -5 and y = -8
ki77a [65]
Equation: x² - (x - y)² * y

Substitute values for x and y into equation.

-> (-5)² - ( (-5) - (-8) )² * (-8)
-> 25 - (-5 + 8)² * (-8)
-> 25 - (3)² * (-8)
-> 25 - 9 * (-8)
-> 25 - (-72)
-> 25 + 72
-> 97
