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. 12x - y = -4 4x - 3y = -6 4x - 3(-12x - 4) = -6 4x - 3(12x + 4) = -6 4(12x + 4) - 3y = -6 4(-12x - 4) - 3y = -6

these are these multiple choice answers 4x - 3(-12x - 4) = -6 4x - 3(12x + 4) = -6 4(12x + 4) - 3y = -6 4(-12x - 4) - 3y = -6

hartnn (hartnn):

isolate y from 1st equation

*the

hartnn (hartnn):

can you isolate y from 12x - y = -4 ? you can start by adding 'y' on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ill try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x - y = -4 12x + -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm i dont think that would be it

hartnn (hartnn):

12x-y = -4 12x -y+y = -4+y

hartnn (hartnn):

12x = -4+y now add 4 on both sides similarly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 + 12x = -4 + y + 4

hartnn (hartnn):

yes! so y = 12x+4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i'm gonna try to look back at some notes after this problem to better understand it :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i got it yah

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, its easy then plug this in 2nd equation 4x-3y =-6 4x - 3(12x + 4) = -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be B

hartnn (hartnn):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

welcome ^_^
