We are given the value of y.....y = -2x + 21...so we are going to sub in -2x + 21 in for y in the other equation.

-4x + 6y = -18
-4x + 6(-2x + 21) = -18....now we distribute through the parenthesis.
-4x - 12x + 126 = -18... simplify
-16x + 126 = -18.....subtract 126 from both sides
-16x + 126 - 126 = -18 - 126....simplify
-16x = -144...now divide both sides by -16
(-16/-16)x = -144/-16...simplify
x = 9

now we can use either equation...sub in 9 for x and solve for y
y = -2x + 21
y = -2(9) + 21
y = -18 + 21
y = 3

now we can check our answers...
-4x + 6y = -18
-4(9) + 6(3) = -18
-36 + 18 = -18
-18 = -18 (correct)

so ur solution is : (9,3)

A system of equations is given below:

My name is Ann [436]

Solving by substitution:

y = 4x - 3

2x + 7y = 41

Let us substitute the first equation y = 4x - 3 into the second.

2x + 7y = 41

2x + 7(y = 4x -3) = 41

2x + 7(4x -3) = 41

So that's the third option.

I hope this helps.

LekaFEV [45]

100%/x%=80/20 (100/x)*x=(80/20)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x 100/4=x 25=x x=25
