Solve the system of equations using substitution. show your work. 3x + 2y = 7 y = x - 4

x = 3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding X

Substitute y into the 1st equation

3x + 2(x-8) = 7

Simplify

3x + 2x-8 = 7

Combine like terms

5x - 8 = 7

Move the constant (-8) to the right

5x = 7+ 8

Simplify

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5

x = 3

Finding Y

Now since you know x is 3 substitute that into the 2nd equation

y = 3 - 4

y = -1

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

r and t.

both are 64 degrees.
