Usesolve the given system of two equations in two unknowns. Check your answers. 18x - 2y = 10
3x + 16y = 67

(1,4)

x= 1

y= 4

(I checked on desmos and this is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to solve this by substitution

To do this we need to get a variable by istelf in any equation

We'll start with 18x-2y=10

We can add 2y and divide by 2 to get

y=9x-5

This is what y will equal for now and we can plug this in for y in the second equation

3x+16(9x-5)=67

This is rather easy to solve

147x-80=67

147x=147

this means that x=1

We can then use this value for x and plug it into any equation

let's just do the first one

18*1-2y=10

This is easy to solve as well and you should get

-2y=-8

y=4

this means that x=1

y=4

if x decreases by 4 then y increases by 10
