Question

Put the steps in order that are used to solve the following systems of equations by substitution.
7x -2y=-13
x - 2y = 11
(10 points)
=-7(2y +11) - 2y = -13
=-16y - 77 = -13
= x-2(-4)=11
= x - 2y = 11 -> x = 2y + 11
=-14y - 77 - 2y =-13
= - 16y = 64
=y=-4
=x+8=11
=x =3
= (3, -4)

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations by substitution, we need to organize the given steps in a logical sequence. Let's analyze the steps provided and arrange them accordingly:

1. **Write one equation in terms of x or y:**
Start with the equation \( x - 2y = 11 \) and solve for x:
\( x = 2y + 11 \)
This corresponds to:
\( x - 2y = 11 \rightarrow x = 2y + 11 \)

2. **Substitute that expression into the other equation:**
Now substitute \( x = 2y + 11 \) into the first equation \( 7x - 2y = -13 \):
So you can express it as:
\( 7(2y + 11) - 2y = -13 \)
This corresponds to:
\( -7(2y + 11) - 2y = -13 \) (but the signs seem to be mixed with the original equation here).

3. **Simplify the substituted equation:**
Simplify:
\( 14y + 77 - 2y = -13 \)
(Note: The step provided with negative signs appears to be incorrect, so this is the correct change in signs).
This leads to:
\( 12y + 77 = -13 \)

4. **Combine like terms:**
Move the constant to the other side:
\( 12y = -13 - 77 \)
This results in:
\( 12y = -90 \)

5. **Solve for y:**
Dividing both sides by 12 gives:
\( y = -4 \)

6. **Substitute back to find x:**
Now substitute \( y = -4 \) back into the equation \( x = 2y + 11 \):
\( x = 2(-4) + 11 \)
Which results in:
\( x = -8 + 11 \)
\( x = 3 \)

7. **Write the solution as an ordered pair:**
Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:
\( (3, -4) \)

Putting these steps in order, we get:

1. \( x - 2y = 11 \rightarrow x = 2y + 11 \)
2. Substitute: \( 7(2y + 11) - 2y = -13 \)
3. Simplify: \( 14y + 77 - 2y = -13 \)
4. Combine: \( 12y = -90 \)
5. Solve for y: \( y = -4 \)
6. Substitute back: \( x = 2(-4) + 11 \)
7. Final solution: \( (3, -4) \)
