Question

How to slice using substitution method

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3, y=8; (3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the substitution method, first solve for a variable.

2x+y=14

2x+y(-2x)=14(-2x)

y=14-2x

Now substitute y in the other equation with 14-2x

5x-2(14-2x)= - 1

Simplify by multiplying inside the parenthesis.

5x-28+4x= - 1

Combine the x values

9x-28= - 1

9x=27

x=3

Now substitute the x value in to solve for y

2(3)+y=14

6+y=14

y=8
