The easiest way to solve this system of equations is to solve for a variable in one of the equations. In the second equation, y = 3x. This can be substituted into the first equation:

y = -4x - 7;

3x = = -4x - 7;

7x = -7;

x = -1.

Since we have determined that x equals -1, we can then substitute -1 into either equation to find our corresponding y-value. Thus:

y = 3x;

y = 3(-1)

y = -3.

Thus, the solution to this system of equations is (-1, -3).

What 4x y14 and 2x y8 solve using substitution?

You cant solve it unless it is an equation. To be an equation it must have an equals sign.


Solve this equation using substitution 3x plus 2y equals 2 and -2 plus y equals 8?

From second equation: y = 8 + 2xSubstitute for y in first equation: 3x + 16 + 4x = 2ie 7x = -14ie x = -2 and y = 4


Darius is asked to solve the equqtion x plus 5 equals 4x over 3?

x + 5 = 4x/3 Solve for x multiply both sides of the equation by 3... 3 * (x + 5) = 3 * (4x/3) 3x + 15 = 4x subtract 3x from both sides of the equation (3x + 15) - 3x = (4x) - 3x 15 = x x = 15
