The system of equations tells you that y is equal to −2, so that’s the y-value in our system. To find the value of x in our system, we can substitute −2 for y in the second equation. Do that now.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the value of $ x $ in the equation $ x = -9y + 11 $ when $ y = -2 $, substitute $ -2 $ for $ y $: $$ x = -9(-2) + 11 $$ Now, multiply $-9$ by $-2$: $$ x = 18 + 11 $$ Then, add $ 18 $ and $ 11 $: $$ x = 29 $$ So, the value of $ x $ is $ 29 $.
