- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define Systems
6x + 8y = 0
-7x + y = 31
Step 2: Rewrite Systems
-7x + y = 31
- Add 7x to both sides: y = 7x + 31
Step 3: Redefine Systems
6x + 8y = 0
y = 7x + 31
Step 4: Solve for x
Substitution
- Substitute in y: 6x + 8(7x + 31) = 0
- Distribute 8: 6x + 56x + 248 = 0
- Combine like terms: 62x + 248 = 0
- Isolate x term: 62x = -248
- Isolate x: x = -4
Step 4: Solve for y
- Define equation: -7x + y = 31
- Substitute in x: -7(-4) + y = 31
- Multiply: 28 + y = 31
- Isolate y: y = 3
