sorry-not the whole problem the second line of that is y=-7x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitution, elimination simultaneous equation this isnt hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please walk me through it

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I would use substitution if that is your second equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x+7y=21\\4x+7(-7x+4)=21\\4x-49x+28=21\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

u shud be able to do dis now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you-but it still isn't right
