What is the value of Y in the solution of the system of equations? 5x+y=9 10x-7y=-18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can use substitution or addition to solve the system. By substitution you need to solve one of the equations for x or y, then plug in that into the other equation replacing x or y.

For example, your second equation solved for y would be y=(18+10x)/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then replace that into the first equation, giving you 5x+(18+10x)/7 = 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x first, then you can solve for y once you have the value of X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=9 is the answer
