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

2x + y = -8<br> 3x - 5y = -25
Margarita [4]

Answer:

x=-5, y=2. (-5, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=-8

3x-5y=-25

------------------

5(2x+y)=5(-8)

3x-5y=-25

-------------------

10x+5y=-40

3x-5y=-25

--------------------

13x=-65

x=-65/13

x=-5

2(-5)+y=-8

-10+y=-8

y=-8-(-10)=-8+10=2

Lexi can paint 5 yards of fencing in one hour. At this rate how many inches does she paint per min?
Kisachek [45]

1 yard is 36 inches  

so 5 yards are 180 inches  

1 hour is 60 minutes  

so in 60 minutes she paints 180 inches  

or in 1 minute she paints 3 inches
