<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>
One number is 2 and the other is 9.</span>

Solve the system using the substitution method<br> 6x - 2y = -4<br> y= 3x + 2
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2y = -4

y= 3x + 2

We see that y = 3x + 2 so we can use that value of Y everytime we see i in the other equation.

6x - 2(3x +2) = -4

Now usually we'd we simply solve for X.

6x - 6x -4 = -4

This clearly does not work as we cannot get rid of X

Therefore, this system of equations has no solution we can find through substitution
