X = 4y + 3, 2x + y = -3
System of Equations

x = -1, y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4y + 3

2x + y = -3

We have the value of x in terms of y, so we substitute that in 2x + y = -3:

2(4y+3)+y = -3

8y+6+y = -3

9y = -9

y = -1

Now we substitute the value of y in x = 4y + 3:

x = 4(-1)+3

x = -1

y = -1 & x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4y + 3 ( 1)

2x + y = -3 (2)

substitute the 4y + 3 as x in the second equation

2( 4y + 3) + y = -3

simplify and solve for y

8y + 24 + y = -3

9 y + 24 = -3

9y = -3 -24

9y = -27

y = -27 / 9

y = -1

Now, substitute the value of y -1 in first equation

x = 4y + 3

solve for x

x = 4 ( - 1 ) + 3

x = -4 + 3

x = -1

but forgot to round

i am pretty sure
