Substitute x=4: Substitute x=4 into the equation –9x−4y=–8 and then simplify.Substitute 4 for x in –9x−4y=–8.–9(4)−4y=–8–36−4y=–8
Isolate variable term y: Isolate the variable term y.−36−4y=−8 Add 36 to both sides of the equation.−36+36−4y=−8+36−4y=28
Solve for y: Solve for y.−4y=28Divide both sides by −4.y=(−4)28y=−7
Find ordered pair solution: We found:x=4y=−7What is the solution in the form of an ordered pair?Substitute x=4 and y=−7 into (x,y).The solution is (4,−7).
