Answer:

It would be a negative or positive depending on the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative minus a negative would result in either a positive or negative. For example, -8 - (-9) would be 1 while -8 - (-7) would be -1. If the negative number your subtracting is greater than the number you're subtracting from then it will be positive, vice versa.

What is the value of y in this system of equations: 3x + y = 9 y = –4x + 10 ?

Ahat [919]

3x + y = 9 (I)
y = –4x + 10 (II)
------------------------
 $\left \{ {{3x + y = 9 } \atop {y = -4x + 10 }} \right.$

Pass the incognito "4x" to the first term, changing the signal when changing sides.
-------------------------
simplify by (-1)
 $\left \{ {{3x + y = 9.(-1)} \atop {4x + y = 10 }} \right.$ 

-------------------------
 $\left \{ {{- 3x - \diagup\!\!\!\!y =-9} \atop {4x + \diagup\!\!\!\!y = 10}} \right. 
$

-------------------------
 $\left \{ {{- 3x = - 9} \atop {4x = 10}} \right.$ 

-----------
 $\boxed{x = 1}$ 

Substitute in equation (I) to find the value of "Y".

3x + y = 9 (I)
3*(1) + y = 9
3 + y = 9
y = 9 - 3
$\boxed{y = 6}$

Answer:
$\boxed{\boxed{ \left \ {{x=1} \atop {y=6}} \right. }}$
