Question

solve the system by substitution.
y = 9x
y = 3x - 24
answer
attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute y from first equation

Set $9x = 3x - 24$

Step2: Isolate x terms

$9x - 3x = -24$
$6x = -24$

Step3: Solve for x

$x = \frac{-24}{6} = -4$

Step4: Solve for y using y=9x

$y = 9(-4) = -36$

Answer:

$x=-4$, $y=-36$
