If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalent to x from the second equation is substituted into the first equation.

3x + 2y = −21
x − 3y = 4

6 on both sides and twelve on the top and the bottom

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
