Solve the system of linear equations by substitution

There is the equal values method, so you can do:

x-4 = 4x-10 (remove x from both sides)
-4 = 3x -10 (add ten to both sides)
6 = 3x (devide by 3x)
2 = x

Check: (by plugging it into the equation)
y = 2-4 and y = 8-10
y = -2 and y = -2
that's matches so it is correct...
YOUR ANSWER IS:
(2, -2)

I hoped I helped sort things out, and have a great day!

Y = x-4
y = 4x-10

Compare both the equations,
4x-10 = x-4
4x-x = 10-4
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2

Now, substitute it in 1st equation,
y = 2-4 = -2

In short, Your Answer would be (2, -2)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 7
y = 97°
z = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The markings on the figure show this to be a parallelogram. That means opposite sides are congruent. Because the sides are parallel, "alternate interior" angles are also congruent.

Angle y forms a linear pair with the one marked 83°, so is supplementary to it:

y = 180°-83° = 97°

The angle marked y is an exterior angle to the triangle containing the angle marked (7x -5)°. As such, it is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles, the one marked (7x -5)° and the unmarked one that is congruent to (3x +32)°.

(7x -5) +(3x +32) = 97 . . . . . angle relations in the left-side triangle

10x +27 = 97 . . . . . . . collect terms

10x = 70 . . . . . . . . subtract 27

x = 7 . . . . . . . . divide by 10

The side marked Z is congruent to the opposite parallel side, so ...

z = 19

The missing measures are ...

x = 7
y = 97°
z = 19

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can also find the value of y by adding up the interior angles of the right-side triangle. The one not shown there is "alternate interior" to the one marked (7x -5)°, hence has the same measure. This gives ...

(7x -5) +(3x +32) +83 = 180

Subtracting 83° from both sides gives the equation we used above.
