Question 155710: x - 4y = -18
3/4 + (1/4)y = x
A(4, -1)
B(-3, 2)
C(-5, 2)
D(2, 5)
E(-2, -4)
FNo Solution

I tried to solve both equations for y:
z=x+18/4
y=4x-3
but when i tried to find which of the solutions choices were correct, i couldnt come to any of them. Im not sure if i solved for y wrong, or what im doing thats incorrect. Id like to kno the correct choice and how to come to it. Thank you!

Solve:

Substitute this for x in the first equation.
Multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions.
Combine like-terms (the y's).
Subtract 3 from both sides.
Divide both sides by -15.
Now substitute this for y in either of the two original equations.
Substitute y = 5.
Simplify.
Add 20 to both sides.

The solution is: (2, 5)
