Question

Solve the following system using substitution. Remember to record your answer as (x, y).

Answer 1

Answer:

You already have what you are going to substitute, just put the y values from the first equation into the second! Like this:

6x - 5(-2x - 9) = -19

Multiply it out:

6x +10x +45 = -19

Add like terms + simplify:

16x + 45 = -19

16x = -64

x = -4

take that x and put it back into the first equation!!

y = -2(-4) -9

y= 8-9

y= -1

so... your answer is (-4, -1)

hope this helps!
