using the substitution method.. what is the solution of the system?
8x + 7y = 31
-2x + y = 17
:
The 2nd equation is a good one to use for substitution
-2x + y = 17
add 2x to both sides
y = 2x + 17
:
In the first equation substitute (2x+17) for y, find x
8x + 7(2x+17) = 31
8x + 14x + 119 = 31
22x = 31 - 119
22x = -88
x =
x = -4
:
Find y
y = 2x + 17
y = 2(-4) + 17
y = -8 + 17
y = 9
:
:
Check solution in the original 1st equation
8x + 7y = 31
8(-4) + 7(9) = 31
-32 + 63 = 31
