y=6x-11
-2x-3y=-7 Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=6x-11 (equation 1)
-2x-3y=-7 (equation 2)
.
Substitute the defintion of 'y' from equation 1 into equation 2:
-2x-3(6x-11)=-7
-2x-18x+33=-7
-20x+33=-7
-20x=-40
x = 2
.
Substitute the above definition of 'x' into equation 1:
y=6(2)-11
y=12-11
y= 1
.
Solution:
x=2
y=1
