solve the system of equations x-4y=5 x=3y-2

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the second equation tells us what x equals in terms of y. so plug (3y - 2) for x in the first equation and solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep. so now plug in -7 for y in the second equation to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
