9x +3y=-51,-5x +y=39 solve using substitution method
\n" ); document.write( "im gtoing to use the second equation and solve for \"y\" since its already by its self.
\n" ); document.write( "-5x +y=39
\n" ); document.write( "+5x....+5x
\n" ); document.write( "y=39+5x
\n" ); document.write( "now plug the value of \"y\" into the other equation
\n" ); document.write( "9x +3y=-51
\n" ); document.write( "9x+3(39+5x)=-51
\n" ); document.write( "9x+3(39)+3(5x)=-51
\n" ); document.write( "9x+117+15x=-51
\n" ); document.write( "24x+117=-51
\n" ); document.write( "-117....-117
\n" ); document.write( "24x=-168
\n" ); document.write( "x=-168/24
\n" ); document.write( "x=-7
\n" ); document.write( "now plug the value of \"x\" into the value for \"y\"
\n" ); document.write( "y=39+5x
\n" ); document.write( "y=39+5(-7)
\n" ); document.write( "y=39-35
\n" ); document.write( "y=4
\n" ); document.write( "(-7,4)or x=-7 and y=4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
