Full solution

Q. Solve using substitution.\newliney=7y = -7\newline7x8y=77x - 8y = 7\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Given value of y: First, we are given the value of yy, which is 7-7. We need to substitute this value into the second equation to find the value of xx.y=7y = -77x8y=77x - 8y = 7Substitute y=7y = -7 into the second equation:7x8(7)=77x - 8(-7) = 7
  2. Substitute yy into equation: Now, we simplify the equation by multiplying 8-8 with 7-7 and then solve for xx.7x+56=77x + 56 = 7
  3. Simplify and solve for xx: Next, we subtract 5656 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.7x+5656=7567x + 56 - 56 = 7 - 567x=497x = -49
  4. Isolate x term: Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 77 to solve for xx.\newline7x7=497\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{-49}{7}\newlinex=7x = -7
