Russell surveyed 16 students at his school and found that 4 of them planned to take orchestra as their next elective. If Russell surveys 12 more students, how many of them are probably planning on taking orchestra as an elective, based on past data?​

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

step-by-step explanation: it is d

combine all like terms then its just a 2 step equation
