Question

I am having a problem with method of substitution problem.

3x-y=6
7x-2y=16

Answer 1

I am a little confused with the solution and I need help.

Answer 2

Here's how I would do it:

Change 3x-y=6 to 3x-6=y
Then substitute the new y= for the y in the second equation like so:
7x-2(3x-6)=16
7x-6x+12=16
x+12=16
x=4
To find y you could then plug the x=4 into one of the first equations.
Hope that helps :)

Answer 3

Thank you
so x=4 and y=6
Is this right?

Answer 4

Yep, I think so.

Answer 5

Thank you again..
