- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define Systems
x = -4
5x + 4y = -10
Step 2: Solve for y
Substitution
- Substitute in x: 5(-4) + 4y = -10
- Multiply: -20 + 4y = -10
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 20 on both sides: 4y = 10
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides: y = 10/4
- Simplify: y = 5/2
