Question

Help pls. Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.

Answer 1

Answer:

(5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = 17 - 4y \\ y = x - 2$

Substitute x into y:

$y = (17 - 4y) - 2 \\ y = 15 - 4y \\ y + 4y = 15 \\ 5y = 15 \\ y = 3$

Substitute y into x:

$y = x - 2 \\ 3 = x - 2 \\ 3 + 2 = x \\ x = 5$

Therefore your answer is (5, 3).
