Full solution

Q. Solve the system of equations.\newline7x3y=20y=5x4x=y= \begin{array}{l} 7 x-3 y=20 \\ y=5 x-4 \\ x=\square \\ y=\square \end{array}
  1. Substitute yy into first equation: Substitute yy from the second equation into the first equation.\newlineWe have y=5x4y = 5x - 4. Substitute this into 7x3y=207x - 3y = 20.\newline7x3(5x4)=207x - 3(5x - 4) = 20
  2. Distribute and simplify: Distribute the 3-3 across the parentheses and simplify.7x15x+12=207x - 15x + 12 = 208x+12=20-8x + 12 = 20
  3. Isolate the variable x: Isolate the variable x.\newline8-8x + 1212 - 1212 = 2020 - 1212\newline8-8x = 88
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newline8x=8-8x = 8\newlinex=88x = \frac{8}{-8}\newlinex=1x = -1
  5. Substitute xx back into second equation: Substitute xx back into the second equation to solve for yy.
    y=5x4y = 5x - 4
    y=5(1)4y = 5(-1) - 4
    y=54y = -5 - 4
    y=9y = -9
  6. Write the solution as an ordered pair: Write the solution as an ordered pair.\newlineThe solution is (x,y)=(1,9)(x, y) = (-1, -9).
