Solve this system of equations using substitution
y = - 4
x + 2y = 10
Step 1: Substitute for y in the second equation. Which is
the resulting equation?

x + 2(-4) = 10

x - 8 = 10

x = -18

y = -4

(-18, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2(-4) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting -4 for y in the second equation results in x + 2(-4) = 10.  This simplifies to x - 8 = 10 and then x = 18.

Please, when the problem statement includes possible answer choices, share them.

step-by-step explanation:

this is not a question

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
