solving systems of equations by substitution
solve each system by substitution.
1)
① ( y = 6x - 11 )
② ( -2x - 3y = -7 )
- ( 2x - 3y = -1 )
( y = x - 1 )
- ( y = -3x + 5 )
( 5x - 4y = -3 )
- ( -3x - 3y = 3 )
( y = -5x - 17 )
Let's solve problem 3: \( y = -3x + 5 \) and \( 5x - 4y = -3 \) using substitution.
Step 1: Substitute \( y \) into the second equation
We know \( y = -3x + 5 \), so substitute this into \( 5x - 4y = -3 \).
\( 5x - 4(-3x + 5) = -3 \)
Step 2: Simplify and solve for \( x \)
First, distribute the -4:
\( 5x + 12x - 20 = -3 \)
Combine like terms:
\( 17x - 20 = -3 \)
Add 20 to both sides:
\( 17x = 17 \)
Divide both sides by 17:
\( x = 1 \)
Step 3: Substitute \( x = 1 \) back into \( y = -3x + 5 \)
\( y = -3(1) + 5 \)
\( y = -3 + 5 \)
\( y = 2 \)
