-x + y = 2
4x - 3y = -7

-x + y = 2 (add x to both sides)
y = x + 2 (substitute x + 2 for y into the second equation of the system)

4x - 3y = -7
4x - 3(x + 2) = -7 (solve for x)
4x - 3x - 6 = -7
x - 6 = -7 (add 6 to both sides)
x = -1

y = x + 2 (substitute -1 for x)
y = -1 + 2
y = 1

Thus (-1, 1) is the solution of the given system of the equations.

What is the advantage that the method od substitution has over the graphing method of solving system of equations?

Substitution is a way to solve without graphing, and sometimes there are equations that are impossible or very difficult to graph that are easier to just substitute. Mostly though, it is a way to solve if you have no calculator or cannot use one (for a test or worksheet).


7x - 5y equals 76 4x plus y equals 55?

To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Let's use the substitution method. From the second equation, we can express y as y = 55 - 4x. Substitute this expression for y in the first equation: 7x - 5(55 - 4x) = 76. Simplify this equation to solve for x. Then, substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to find the value of y.
