y= -32
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: from the first equation you will make X the subject of formula, the equation then becomes;
X= 4-y
2
step 2: substitute X in the second equation, the equation then becomes 5 * [4-y] + 3y = -6
[ 2]
step 3: find the LCM and then cross multiply; 20-5y+6y = -6
2
20+y = -12
y= -12-20
y= -32
