Solve this system of equations algebraically using substitution y= x + 4 and x + y=2

x = -1, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, you have to plug in the value of y from the first equation into the second equation:

x + (x + 4) = y

2x + 4 = 2

2x = -2

x = -1

Then, plug x = -1 into one of the equations:

y = (-1) + 4

y = 3

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
