Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15


- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.


- Multiply
times 5y - 13.

- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

- Multiply 3 times
.

- Add
to 4y.

- Add
to both sides of the equation.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.


- Add
to
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

You can use substitution here. First, get y alone:
14x + y = -4
subtract 14x from each side
y = -4 - 14x
Then, plug y into the second equation
-4 - 14x = 3x² - 11x - 4
then solve from there
Hope this helps :)
Answer: First one is 140, second one is 70
Step-by-step explanation: They’re corresponding angles
Answer:
D. 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the division first
-16 ÷ (-4) = 4 then do the sum
12 + 4 = 16
