Hi there!

$\large\boxed{y = -7}$

4y - 2(1 - y) = -44

Begin by distributing -2:

4y - 2(1) - 2(-y) = -44

Simplify. A negative times a negative equals positive.

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

Combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

Add 2 to both sides:

6y = -42

Divide both sides by 6:

y = -7

What is the first step to solve the following system of equations using substitution?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

Thus, option A) is true.

The solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that when we solve the system of equations, the first step we need to do is to solve one of the equations for one of the variables.

Given the system of equations

$x - y = -1$

$2x - y = 3$

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

$x-y=-1$

Add y to both sides

$x-y+y=-1+y$

$x=-1+y$

Thus, option A) is true.

<u>NOW LET US SOLVE THE REMAINING PORTION</u>

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-1+y$ to solve for y

$\begin{bmatrix}2\left(-1+y\right)-y=3\end{bmatrix}$

$-2+y=3$

$y=5$

For x = -1 + y

substitute y = 5

$x=-1+5$

$x=4$

Thus, the solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

Find the value of x,y and z. The Diagram is not a scale!

joja [24]

Answer:

x= 76, y = 63 z, 104

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find x since the three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

46+58+x = 180

104+x =180

Subtract 104 from each side

x = 180-104

x = 76

x and z form a straight line

x+z =180

76+ z = 180

Subtract 76 from each side

z = 180-76

z = 104

Z, 13 and y make a triangle

z+ 13 +y = 180

104+13+y = 180

117+y=180

Subtract 117 from each side

y = 180-117

y = 63
