What is 2x-3y=-1

y=x-1

2x - 3y = - 1

y = x - 1

2x - 3y = - 1

2x - 3 (x - 1) = - 1

2x - 3 (x) + 3 (1) = - 1

2x - 3x + 3 = - 1

-x + 3 = - 1

- 3 - 3

-x = - 4

-1 - 1

x = 4

y = x - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

(x, y) = (4, 3)

If you're looking for the solution to the system of equations, here's how we solve using substitution

We know that y = x - 1, so we can plug that into the first equation giving

2x - 3 (x-1) = - 1

Now distribute the 3 giving 2x - 3x + 3 = - 1. After combining like terms we get - x + 3 = - 1. Now subtract 3 from both sides, - x = - 4, and multiply both sides by - 1 to make x positive. x = 4

Now we can plug that into the second equation to get y

y = x - 1, and we know that x = 4, so y = 4 - 1, y = 3. The solution is (4, 3)
