Solve by substitution:

\[ y = 6x - 11 \]

\[ -2x - 3y = -7 \]

Asked by Tsmoot

Answer (3)

so you substitute y=6x-11 into -2x-3y=-7
-2x-3(6x-11)=-7 add like terms -20x+33=-7 subtract 33 from both sides -20x=-40 multiply by -1 20x=40 divide both sides by 20 x=2

By substituting the expression for y from the first equation into the second equation, we find that x = 2 and y = 1. Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, 1). We checked the solution, and it satisfies both equations.
