Plug in for x.

7(2y - 4) + 5y = -66

14y - 28 + 5y = -66

19y - 28 = -66

19y = -38

y = -2

Put it back into the equation.
2(-2) - 4 = -8
x = -8

The x-value is x = -8

The solution to the system of equations is x = -8, y = -2

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b;

where m is the rate of change, b is the initial value of y and y, x are variables.

Given the equations:

x = 2y - 4    

x - 2y = -4   (1)

7x + 5y = -66  (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = -8, y = -2

The solution to the system of equations is x = -8, y = -2
