Algebra.Com's Answer #279569 by pie90010(44)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Im guessing its telling you to solve using substitution ? \n" ); document.write( "Well your lucky, most of the work is already done :D \n" ); document.write( "you know y=x-7 , so just replace y with (x - 7) in the other equation \n" ); document.write( "4x - 7(x-7) = 10 \n" ); document.write( "4x - 7x + 49 = 10 \n" ); document.write( "-3x = -39 \n" ); document.write( "x = 13\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now just plug X in the original equation to fine Y \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = x - 7 \n" ); document.write( "y = 13 - 7 \n" ); document.write( "y = 6\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the solution would be \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(13,6) \n" ); document.write( " |
