-x+4y=24 substituted for -2x+y=-8

Answer 1

-x+4y=24 , 4y = 24+x , y= (24 + x )/4

substitute y in the second equation ,

-2 x + y = - 8

-2 x + (24+x)/4 = - 8 , multiply both side by 4 to get rid from the fraction

-8 x + 24 + x = -32

-7 x + 24 = - 32

-7 x = -32 -24

-7 x = - 56 , divide both sides by (-7)

x = 8

you have y= (24 + x) /4 , plug the value of x

y = (24 + 8 )/4

y= 32/4

y=8

Answer 2

Hi Fred. Do you have to solve for x and y?
