anyone up.. algebra

OpenStudy (danjs):

ok

OpenStudy (slickster256):

A system of equations is given below: y = 4x − 3 2x + 7y = 41 Which of the following steps could be used to solve by substitution? 2(y = 4x − 3) + 7y = 41 4x − 3 = 2x + 7y 2x + 7(4x − 3) = 41 2(y = 4x − 3)

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah, substitution means you solve one equation for a variable, and substitute that into the second equation as to reduce the variables down to 1 to solve for...

OpenStudy (danjs):

Here they have the first one already solved for a variable y. y=4x-3 You put that value for y into the second equation wherever y is at 2x + 7y = 41 2x + 7*(4x - 3)=41

OpenStudy (slickster256):

ohhhhh that makes so much sense

OpenStudy (slickster256):

thank u

OpenStudy (danjs):

welcome
