Question

X+4y=30 system by substitution X-2y=0

Answer 1

Answer:

x=10, y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

For substitution, you always want to get the variable alone. The second equation (x-2y=0) will be easier to substitute into the first equation.

x-2y=0

x=2y

You can substitute 2y as x on the first equation (x+4y=30).

2y+4y=30

6y=30

y=5

Plug y=5 into any equation.

x+4(5)=30

x+20=30

x=10
