Okay, so if we use our second equation for our substitution, so this is telling us that y is equal to 5x.
00:10
So if we plug that into our first equation, we'll have 1 4th x minus 1 5th times y, which is 5x.
00:21
So then this is going to be equal to 9.
00:25
Okay, so here you just have to multiply this 1 5th times 5, so i have 1 4x, so 1 5th x.
00:32
Times 5x is just going to be minus x and this is equal to 9.
00:38
So 1 fourth minus, this has a coefficient of 1, so 1 fourth minus 1 gives us negative 3 4ths.
00:47
X is equal to 9.
00:50
So here we can multiply by the reciprocal of negative 3 4ths and then multiply by negative 1 or we could just multiply by 4.
00:59
So we'll have negative 3x is equal to 36.
01:04
And then we divide both sides by negative 3 to get that x is equal to negative 12.
01:21
Okay.
01:22
So now we just have to find y.
01:24
So we can go ahead and plug x into here...
