The system of equations tells you that y is equal to −6, so that’s the y-value in our system. To find the value of x in our system, we can substitute −6 for y in the second equation. Do that now.

Question

y=−6
x=−10y−6
x
=
−10(
) − 6

Answer 1

You're given the equation \( x = -10y - 6 \) and know that \( y = -6 \).

Substituting \( -6 \) for \( y \):

\[ x = -10(-6) - 6 \]

Now, calculate:

\[ x = 60 - 6 \]

\[ x = 54 \]

So, the value of \( x \) is \( 54 \).
