First, use the second equation to solve for y in terms of x. Substitute y = 3x - 4 into the first equation:
-4x + 4(3x - 4) = -40
-4x + 12x - 16 = -40
8x - 16 = -40
8x = -24
x = -3
Now that we have x = -3, substitute it back into the second equation to solve for y:
y = 3(-3) - 4
y = -9 - 4
y = -13
So the solution to the system of equations is (-3, -13).
Solve the system of equations by substitution.
−4x+4y=−40
y=3x−4
