Full solution

Q. Solve the system by substitution.\newline4x+4y=40-4x+4y=-40 \newline y=3x4y=3x-4\newline(,)(\square,\square)
  1. Substitute Equation 11: Substitute y=3x4y = 3x - 4 into the first equation 4x+4y=40-4x + 4y = -40.\newline4x+4(3x4)=40-4x + 4(3x - 4) = -40
  2. Distribute and Simplify: Distribute 44 into the parentheses.\newline4x+12x16=40-4x + 12x - 16 = -40
  3. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.\newline8x16=408x - 16 = -40
  4. Addition and Subtraction: Add 1616 to both sides of the equation.\newline8x16+16=40+168x - 16 + 16 = -40 + 16\newline8x=248x = -24
  5. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 88 to solve for x.\newline8x8=248\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{-24}{8}\newlinex=3x = -3
  6. Substitute into Equation 22: Substitute x=3x = -3 into y=3x4y = 3x - 4 to solve for yy.\newliney=3(3)4y = 3(-3) - 4
  7. Calculate yy: Calculate the value of yy.y=94y = -9 - 4y=13y = -13
