Answer:
Substitute y=x-1 for y in the first equation to get -4x+3(x-1)=-2
-4x+3x-3=-2
-x-3=-2
-x=1
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -1
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the second equation, y is already isolated for us:
y = x - 1
so all we need to do is plug in the value for y into the first equation:
-4x + 3(x - 1) = -2
Next all we do is algebra:
[distribute] -4x + 3x - 3 = -2
[condense] -1x - 3 = -2
[add] -1x = 1
[divide] x = -1
Now that we have the value of x, we can use it to find y by plugging it in to either equation.
y = x - 1
[plug in] y = -1 - 1
[condense] y = -2
Answers: x = -1, y = -2
