Question

solve using substitution
2x=y-4
-3y=x-5

Answer 1

Solve the first equation for \(x\) to find that \(x = \frac{1}{2}(y-4)\).

Answer 2

Plug this into the second equation to find that \(-3y = \frac{1}{2}(y-4) - 5\).

Answer 3

Divide both sides by \(-3\) to find \(y\).

Answer 4

You can then substitute the value you find for \(y\) to solve for \(x\).
