How to solve this 5x-19=2y,3y+18=4x
4 answers
why a separate cryptic post just saying "substitution method"?
5x-19=2y, so y = (5x-19)/2
3y+18=4x
3(5x-19)/2+18=4x
15x-57+36=8x
7x = 21
x = 3
y = (5*3-19)/2 = -2
5x-19=2y, so y = (5x-19)/2
3y+18=4x
3(5x-19)/2+18=4x
15x-57+36=8x
7x = 21
x = 3
y = (5*3-19)/2 = -2
SOLVING
4x + 6y = 21
7x - 3y = 3
7x - 3y = 3
