Solve using the substitution method:

NOTE: Round long decimals to the nearest one hundredth.

y = 3x - 87
3x 2y = 21

  • x=-21.67
    y=21.99
  • x=21.67
    y=-21.99
  • x=21.67
    y=21.99
  • x=-21.99
    y=-21.67

If y = 3x - 87, then the following is true per the substitution method:

3x 2(3x - 87) = 21
3x 6x - 174 = 21
9x = 195
x = 21.67

y = 3(21.67) - 87
y = -21.99
