1. 4x + 3y = -2

2. x - y = -4

Multiplying 2. by 3 gives: (we have done this so that we end up with a -3y)

3. 3x - 3y = -12

1. added to 3. gives: (now, by adding, the 3y & -3y will cancel out)

4. 7x = -14 (the 4x + the 3x gives 7x, the y's cancel out, -2 + -12 gives -14)

thus x = -14/7

x = -2

Substituting x = -2 into 1. gives

(4 * -2) + 3y = -2

-8 + 3y = -2

3y = -2 + 8

3y = 6

y = 2

Thus x = -2 and y = 2.

What is the substiution eqaution for x plus y equals 15 and 4x plus 3y equals 38?

x + y = 154x + 3y = 38from the first equation, y = 15-xsubstitute this value in the second equation as follows:4x + 3(15-x)= 384x + 45 - 3x = 38x + 45 = 38x = 38 - 45so, x = -7substitute this value to solve for y:y = 15 -xy = 15-(-7)y = 22

If x-3yy12then xy equal to?

If x - 3y = 12, we can solve for x in terms of y: x = 12 + 3y. Then, to find xy, we multiply x by y: xy = y(12+3y) = 12y + 3y^2.
