Algebra.Com's Answer #180117 by richwmiller(17219) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve one of the equations for x or y then substitute that in the other. \n" ); document.write( "4y-x=11 \n" ); document.write( "4y-11=x \n" ); document.write( "now substitute 4y-11 for x in 4x+5y=-2 \n" ); document.write( "4(4y-11)+5y=-2 \n" ); document.write( "and solve for y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
