Question

Tracy solved the system of equations by making a substitution for x in the second equation.

What equation did she get as a result of that substitution?

x = –2y – 2
2x + 3y = –6

–2y – 2 = –6
–2y + 1 = –6
–4y – 2 + 3y = –6
–4y – 4 + 3y = –6

thxx!

Answer 5

There is more but we need to solve this first :) so please solve it

Answer 6

i got y=2 is that right?

Answer 7

Yep! :)
Now we substitue that into equation 1

Answer 8

x=-6?

Answer 9

yep :)
