Question 1000573
.
solve each system by either addition method or the substitution method 
3y = x + 14
2x - 3y = -16 
-------------------------------------------------------
<pre>
You just have 3y expressed via x. It is the first equation 3y = x + 14.

Simply substitute it into the second equation. You will get a single equation for x:

2x - (x + 14) = -16.

Simplify and solve it:

2x - x - 14 = -16,

x = -16 + 14,

x = -2.

Now substitute the found value of x = -2 into the first equation of the original system and find y:

3y = (-2) + 14 = 12.

y = {{{12/3}}} = 4.

<U>Answer</U>. x = -2, y = 4.
