Y=4x-9 y=x-3 solve by substitution

x = 2 y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = 4x - 9 ... eqn 1

y = x - 3 ... eqn 2

substitute for y = x - 3 in eqn 1

we have,

y = 4x - 9 ... eqn 1

i. e

x - 3 = 4x - 9

collect the like terms

-3 + 9 = 4x - x

6 = 3x

divie both sides by 3

x = 2

now put x = 2 in equation (2)

from

y = x - 3 ... eqn 2

y = 2 - 3

y = - 1

therefore x = 2 y = - 1

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3=4x-9

x=4x-6

-3x=-6

x=2
