Full solution

Q. Solve the system by substitution.\newline7x+y=26y=6x \begin{aligned} -7 x+y & =26 \\ y & =-6 x \end{aligned}
  1. Substitute yy into first equation: Substitute the expression for yy from the second equation into the first equation.\newlineGiven y=6xy = -6x, we can substitute this into the first equation 7x+y=26-7x + y = 26.\newline7x+(6x)=26-7x + (-6x) = 26
  2. Combine like terms: Combine like terms and solve for xx.7x6x=26-7x - 6x = 2613x=26-13x = 26
  3. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 13-13 to find the value of x.\newlinex=2613x = \frac{26}{-13}\newlinex=2x = -2
  4. Substitute xx into second equation: Substitute the value of xx back into the second equation to find yy.y=6xy = -6xy=6(2)y = -6(-2)y=12y = 12
  5. Write solution as ordered pair: Write the solution as an ordered pair (x,y)(x, y). The solution is (2,12)(-2, 12).
