Solve |x + 3| = 7.
A. x= -4
B. x= 10
C. x= 4
D. x= -10

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

|x + 3| = 7

=> x + 3 = 7

=> x = 7 - 3

=> x = 4

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
