I’m doing this too hopefully someone answers quick cause I’m confused also.
3x + 4(2) = 20
3x + 8 = 20
3x = 12
x = 4
(4,2)
You have y=2 then all you need to do is plug 2 into the y in the equation 3x + 4y = 20 and do the math to find x. Hope this helps
We want to use the Substitution method to solve
7x - 2y = 1 (1)
x - 2y = 1 (2)
From equation (1), obtain
2y = 7x - 1 (3)
Substitute (3) into (2).
x - (7x - 1) = 1
-6x + 1 = 1
-6x = 0
x = 0
From (3), obtain
2y = 7*0 - 1 = -1
y = -1/2
Answer: (0, -1/2) or x=0, y= -1/2.
7/18 because 7 times 1 is 7 and 9 times 2 is 18 :)
