The system is partly setup for you. Second equation is a formula for x. Substitute it into the first equation and find the value for y.









Find x from this.

Usesubstitution to solve the system of linear equations.
x+4y=-6
x=5-(y/3)
What is the intersection?




     ------ Substituting  for x in eq (i)

15 - y + 12y = - 18 ----- Multiplying by LCD, 3

   - y + 12y = - 18 - 15

         11y = - 33

          , or 

  x + 4(- 3) = - 6 ------- Substituting - 3 for y on eq (i)

         x - 12 = - 6

             

You can do the check!!
