Question 1015340: Hey there, I have been given a simultaneous equations hwk, and have been doing fine up till now, where I cannot get passed. Here follows 2 examples of the questions that I am struggling with: and is the first set, the 2nd is and . I know that I must rearange one equation and then solve through substitution here's what I get, this I need to sub in, but the other equation only has 1y not 3y, so I do not know how to get rid of this 3y to make it equal 1! Thanks for reading!

-------------------------------------

1.

3y - x = 15    (1)
2x + y = -2    (2)


Express x from (1): x = 3y - 15, and substitute it into (2).


Please complete it yourself.

-------------------------------------------


2.

4y - 2x = 22    (1)
3x + 2y =  7    (2)

Express 2y via x from (2): 2y = 7 - 3x, and substitute it into (1).


Please complete it yourself.
