<span>Select one equation and solve it for one of its variables.
In the other equation, substitute for the variable just solved.
Solve the new equation.
<span>Substitute the value found into any equation involving both variables and solve for the other variable. </span></span>
That menas that it we be negative because any thing that is negative is going bigger
If a board is 4ft 8 in long than it is 1.4224 meters long
solve for x.
4x−5=7+4y
Add 5 to both sides.
4x−5+5=4y+7+5
4x=4y+12
Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=4y+12/4
x=y+3
