Question

Solve the system of equations by substitution.

Enter your answer in the point form (x, y).

y=3x-10

2x-3y=-12

Answer 1

Y=3x-10

2x-3y=-12 Substitute y in terms of x in the second equation.

2x-3(3x-10)=-12 distribute and solve for x. Your answer is 6.

Plug in into first equation and calculate y

Answer 2

You already have

y = 3x - 10

Plug this into the second equation.

2x - 3(3x - 10) = -12

and solve for x. Then plug the result for x into

y = 3x - 10

and get y.
