Answer:

36/23

Explanation:

You want the value of y in the solution to the system of equations ...

  • 5x -4y = 7
  • x = 5 -3/2y

Substitution

Since we only want the y-value, it is convenient to eliminate x using substitution. The second equation gives an expression for x that can be used in the first equation:

5(5 -3/2y) -4y = 7

25 -15/2y -4y = 7 . . . . eliminate parentheses

50 -15y -8y = 14 . . . . . multiply by 2 to eliminate fractions

36 = 23y . . . . . . . . . . . add 23y-14

y = 36/23 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 23
