Question

please solve this fast late night homework session and I need to get as much done as possible...

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution

4x+3y=-1
3x + y=-7​

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3y=-1

3x + y=-7​

Solve for Y

3x+y=-7

-3x.      -3x

y= -3x - 7

Plug in Y into the top equation

4x + 3 (-3x - 7) = -1

Distribute the Parenthesis

4x -9x-21=-1

Combine Like terms

-5x = 20

Divide by -5 on both sides

20/-5

x = -4
