To solve the first equation, we will isolate the variable x.
-3x - 4 = -18
Adding 4 to both sides:
-3x = -14
Dividing both sides by -3:
x = 14/3
To solve the second equation, we will isolate the variable y.
-2x + 4y = 8
Adding 2x to both sides:
4y = 2x + 8
Dividing both sides by 4:
y = (2x + 8)/4
y = (1/2)x + 2
So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (14/3, (1/2)x + 2)
-3x-4=-18
-2x+4y=8
Put answer in ordered pair form (x,y) show work
