If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalent to y from the first equation is substituted into the second equation.
8x - y = -9
4x - 3y = -22
A)4(-8x - 9) - 3y = -22
B)4x - 3(-8x - 9) = -22
C)4(8x + 9) - 3y = -22
D)4x - 3(8x + 9) = -22

ok if your going to use the substitution method ,
first you will have to solve the first equation for y ,
can you do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y= 8x+9 right?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
right
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
now subsite this into the second equation , what do you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
D) 4x-3(8x +9) = -22

\[\checkmark\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
now to continue to solve the system
we can solve this new equation of x
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
when we have done that we substitute this back into the first equation and solve for y
OpenStudy (nirmalnema):
x=1/4.....y=11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright. Thank you!!
