Consider the following pair of equations:
y = x + 4
y = –2x – 2
Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form.

Respuesta :

x+4=y=-2x-2
x+4=-2x-2
add 2x to both side
3x+4=-2
minus 4 both sides
3x=-6
divide 3
x=-2

sub back
y=x+4
y=-2+4
y=2

(x,y)
(-2,2)
