Question
Solve:–2x+y=6
y = 3x + 4
Substitute for y.
Substitute the right side of the
bottom equation (3x + 4) in place
of the y-variable in the first
equation.
-2x + (-
= 6
-2x +
= 6
Solve for x.
+ 4 = 6
- --
x+4 - 4 = 6_
X =
Use the x-value to find the y-value. Substitute the
x-value into one of the original equations to find the
y-value.
Substitute x = 2 into y = 3x - 4.
y = 3()+ 4
y =
y =-
+ 4
