Solve the system of equations using substitution.
\n" ); document.write( "6x + y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "-6x -8y = -14
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the 1st equation as the substitute, subtract 6x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6x + 11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (-6x+11) for y in the 2nd equation:
\n" ); document.write( "-6x - 8(-6x + 11) = -14
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply what's inside brackets, neg changes the signs:
\n" ); document.write( "-6x + 48x - 88 = -14
\n" ); document.write( "42x = -14 + 88; added 88 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "42x = 74
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"74%2F42\"
\n" ); document.write( "reduces to:
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"37%2F21\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6x + 11
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6(\"37%2F21\") + 11
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-222%2F21\" + \"231%2F21\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"9%2F21\"
\n" ); document.write( "reduces to
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"3%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution it 2nd equation:
\n" ); document.write( "-6x - 8y = -14
\n" ); document.write( "-6(\"37%2F21\") - 8(\"3%2F7\") =
\n" ); document.write( "-6(\"37%2F21\") - 8(\"9%2F21\") =
\n" ); document.write( "\"-222%2F21\" - \"72%2F21\" =
\n" ); document.write( "\"-294%2F21\" = -14, confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I thought you could see the ordered pair is: \"37%2F21\", \"3%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "No mention of a graph however if you graph these equations:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6x + 11
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "-6x -8y = -14
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 8y = 14; multiply equation by -1
\n" ); document.write( "8y = -6x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.75x + \"14%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-2%2C+4%2C+-4%2C+4%2C+-6x%2B11%2C-.75x%2B%2814%2F8%29%29+\"
