y = 1 -4x − 6y = -14 using substitution

Answer 1

Plug in y=1 into the second equation. This will allow you to solve for x

-4x-6(1)=-14 Simplify

-4x-6=-14 Add 6 to both sides of the equation

-4x-6+6=-14+6 Simplify

-4x=-8 Divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4=-8/-4 Simplify

x=2

The solution, then is (2,1)
