Question 585445
{{{153x+320=14}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{153x=14-320}}} Subtract {{{320}}} from both sides.



{{{153x=-306}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-306)/(153)}}} Divide both sides by {{{153}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.



Now that you have x = -2, use it in {{{y = 20+9x}}} to get 


{{{y = 20+9x}}}



{{{y = 20+9(-2)}}}



{{{y = 20-18}}}



{{{y = 2}}}
