The value of x in this system of equations is 1. 3x + y = 9 y = –4x + 10 substitute the value of y in the first equation: combine like terms: apply the subtraction property of equality: apply the division property of equality: 3x + (–4x + 10) = 9 –x + 10 = 9 –x = –1 x = 1 what is the value of y?

In order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why? m = 22 because the rate of change is 1. m = 20 because the rate of change is 3. m = 22 because the rate of change is -1. m = 20 because the rate of change is -3.
