Algebra.Com's Answer #16040 by Nate(3500) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For y=x-3 and 4x+y=1, you would substitute the answer for y in the second equation. \n" ); document.write( "4x+y=1--original equation \n" ); document.write( "4x+x-3=1--substitute y in for x \n" ); document.write( "5x=4--simplify \n" ); document.write( "x=4/5--divide whole equation by 5 \n" ); document.write( "Now, we have to find what y equals. \n" ); document.write( "y=x-3--original equation \n" ); document.write( "y=4/5-3--substitute x in for y \n" ); document.write( "y=-11/5--simplify \n" ); document.write( " |
