Question

How to solve y=-5/2x+4, Y=-1 using substitution(i need the steps not just the answer)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- Since y = -1, we will substitute the y variable in the equation for -1.

 -1 = -5/2x + 4

- Take away 4 from both sides in order to find out what x equals so we can substitute it.

 5 = -5/2x

- turn it into a positive by multiplying each side by -1.

 -1(-5 = -5/2x) =

 5 = 5/2x

- Divide each side by 5.

 1 = 1/2x

- Multiple both sides by 2.

2 = x

- Substitute the variables.

x = 2

y = -1

-1 = -5/2(2) + 4
