How do you solve the following system: #-5x + 3y= 6, 4x+3y=36 #? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Binayaka C. Mar 30, 2016 #x=10/3 and y=68/9# Explanation: #-5x+3y=6 # (1) #4x +3y= 36 # (2) Now subtracting (2) from(1) we get #-9x=-30 or x=30/9=10/3#Putting the value of x in equation (1) we get #3y = 6+5*10/3 or y =68/9#[ans] Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
