Substitute and Simplify: Given the equation −8x−6y=14, substitute x=–1 into the equation and then simplify.Substitute –1 for x in −8x−6y=14.−8(−1)−6y=148−6y=14
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term to solve for y.8−6y=14Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.8−6y−8=14−8−6y=6
Solve for y: Solve for y.−6y=6 Divide both sides by −6.−6−6y=−66y=−1
Find Ordered Pair Solution: We found:x=−1y=−1What is the solution in the form of an ordered pair?Substitute x=−1 and y=−1 into (x,y).The solution is (−1,−1).
