Q. Solve the system of equations by using the substitution method. \newline4x+7y=20-4x+7y=20 \newlineY=3x+15Y= 3x+15 \newlineX=X= _______ Y=Y= _______
  1. Substitute and Simplify: Step 11: Substitute the expression for yy from the second equation into the first equation.\newlineGiven:\newline4x+7y=20-4x + 7y = 20\newliney=3x+15y = 3x + 15\newlineSubstitute yy:\newline4x+7(3x+15)=20-4x + 7(3x + 15) = 20
  2. Distribute and Combine: Step 22: Distribute and combine like terms.\newline4x+21x+105=20-4x + 21x + 105 = 20\newline17x+105=2017x + 105 = 20
  3. Solve for x: Step 33: Solve for x.\newlineSubtract 105105 from both sides:\newline17x=8517x = -85\newlineDivide by 1717:\newlinex=5x = -5
  4. Substitute for y: Step 44: Substitute x=5x = -5 back into the second equation to find yy.y=3(5)+15y = 3(-5) + 15y=15+15y = -15 + 15y=0y = 0
