Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define Systems
-4x + 6y = -18
y = -2x + 21
Step 2: Solve for x
Substitution
- Substitute in y [1st Equation]: -4x + 6(-2x + 21) = -18
- [Distributive Property] Distribute 6: -4x - 12x + 126 = -18
- [Subtraction] Combine like terms: -16x + 126 = -18
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 126 on both sides: -16x = -144
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -16 on both sides: x = 9
Step 3: Solve for y
- Substitute in x [2nd Equation]: y = -2(9) + 21
- Multiply: y = -18 + 21
- Add: y = 3
Answer:
x=9, y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, you can sub the second equation for y in the first one.
This gives -4x+6(-2x+21)=-18, which can be expanded to -4x-12x+126=-18.
From there, you can collect like terms to get -16x+126=-18.
Subtracting 126 from both sides gives -16x=-144.
You want to isolate x by dividing both sides by -16, giving x=9.
You can sub 9 for x in either equation to work out y (I'm using the second one, as it is easier).
This gives y=-2×9+21, which can be solved to y=-18+21, or y=3.
