Question 452230: solve by substitution:
4x-y=7
2x-5y=-1

4x - y = 7------> -y = -4x + 7------- y = 4x - 7
2x - 5y = -1
2x - 5y = -1 {bottom equation}
2x - 5(4x - 7) = -1 {substituted 4x - 7, in for y, into bottom equation}
2x - 20x + 35 = -1 {used distributive property}
-18x = -36 {subtracted 35 from both sides}
x = 2 {divided both sides by -18}
y = 4x - 7
y = 4(2) - 7 {substituted 2, in for y, into 4x - 7}
y = 8 - 7 {multiplied}
y = 1 {subtracted}
x = 2 and y = 1
