I used the substitution method. The first equation is what I used: y=-6x+9.7 So I plugged in y in the second equation. 4x + 2(-6x+9.7)= 9.8 4x-12x+19.4=9.8 Combine like terms -8x+19.4=9.8 Subtract 19.4 on both sides -8x=-9.6 Divide by -8 on both sides and you get x=1.2 If you wanted to find y use either equation and plug in for x with the value of x!
