Math Problem Statement

Solve the system of equations by substitution: x = 4y - 6 and -4x + 3y = -28.

Solution

This is a system of equations that you need to solve by substitution:

  1. x=4y6x = 4y - 6
  2. 4x+3y=28-4x + 3y = -28

To solve by substitution:

  1. From equation (1), you can already express xx in terms of yy. So, x=4y6x = 4y - 6.
  2. Substitute x=4y6x = 4y - 6 into equation (2):

4(4y6)+3y=28-4(4y - 6) + 3y = -28

  1. Simplify and solve for yy.
