Solve the equation using substitution?
Answer:
(4, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + y = 14 → (1)
7x - 4y = 20 → (2)
Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides
y = 14 - 3x → (3)
Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)
7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
7x - 56 + 12x = 20
19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )
19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y
y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2
solution is (4, 2 )
(a.) is the answr. ............................................
I don't know for sure I'm going to ace grade next year but I know that you you need to put the coefficients with the same variable together and the variable next to the coefficients and multiply or add or divide or subtract them and you get your answer and this is just 7th grade math I'm relying on
