Solve the system of equations.
4x + 3y = 13
y= -x +4
OpenStudy (annah.bee):
so i need to find out what x and y equal
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
substitute -x+4 instead of y into first equation and solve for x
OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):
a girl needs help boom everybody is willing to help
pooja195 (pooja195):
4x + 3y = 13 <---equation 1
y= -x +4 <---equation 2
We are given 2 equations here equation 2 tells us the value of y
Using the substitution method we can plug the value of y into equation 1
4x+3(-x+4)=13
solve for x

i dont know what to do
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
solve for x
pooja195 (pooja195):
4x+(3)(−x)+(3)(4)=13(Distribute)
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
distribute the parentheses
pooja195 (pooja195):
3 * -1=?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):
1
pooja195 (pooja195):
Good
|dw:1450473096634:dw|
13-12=?
OpenStudy (annah.bee):
im confused what are you asking? Did we just find x?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Yes
We want to get x alone so we subtract the 12 from both side s

okay i get you... so 1 again
pooja195 (pooja195):
Correct we know the value of x now :-)
Now we take the value of x and plug it into equation 2
y= -x +4
y= -(2)+4
-2+4=?
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
OpenStudy (annah.bee):
so x equals 2?
pooja195 (pooja195):
You mean y=2
We already found the x=1
