Solve each system with substitution 1 7x 4y 3 5x 25 2 8x
Solve each system with substitution
1. 7x + 4y = 3
5x = 25
2. 8x - 5y = -31
y = 3
Solution
1.
 7x + 4y = 3   ....eqn 1
 5x = 25
 ---------------------------------
 5x=25 gives
 x=5
put this in eqn 1
 7x + 4y = 3
 7*5 + 4y = 3
 35 + 4y = 3
 4y = -32
 y = -8
 Answer:
 x=5 and y=- 8
 2.
 8x - 5y = -31 ..eqn 1
 y = 3
 put y=3 in eqn 1
 8x - 5y = -31
 8x - 5*3 = -31
 8x = -16
 x = -2
 Answer:
 x=-2
 y=3
