How do solve the following linear system?: # -9x + 6y = -2 , 4x-2y=-2 #? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Eswer S. · Alan P. Dec 7, 2015 #x=-8/3 and y=-13/3# Explanation: #-9x+6y=-2# (Consider this as equation 1) #4x-2y=-2# (Consider this as equation 2) #x=(2+6y)/9# (From equation 1) Substitute this in equation 2 #4((2+6y)/9)-2y=-2# #8+24y-18y=-18# #8+6y=-18# #6y=-26# #y=-26/6=-13/3# Substitute this in equation 1 #-9x+6(-26/6)=-2# #-9x-26=-2# #x=-24/9=-8/3# Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
