  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

3x + 4y = -3

x = -2y - 1

Step 2: Solve for y

Substitution

  1. Substitute in x:                    3(-2y - 1) + 4y = -3
  2. Distribute 3:                         -6y - 3 + 4y = -3
  3. Combine like terms:           -2y - 3 = -3
  4. Isolate y term:                     -2y = 0
  5. Isolate y:                              y = 0

Step 3: Solve for x

  1. Define equation:                   x = -2y - 1
  2. Substitute in y:                      x = -2(0) - 1
  3. Multiply:                                 x = 0 - 1
  4. Subtract:                                x = -1
