Question

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following

system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalent to x
from the second equation is substituted into the first equation.
3x + 2y = -21
x-3y = 4 (6 points)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Making x the subject in the second equation gives:

x = 4+3y

substituting x = 4 +3y into the first one gives:

3(4 + 3y) + 2y = -21

12 + 9y +2y = -21

11y = -33

y = -3
