I am taking Algebra 1, need help with the following problems.

1. x = 4-4y
-X + 2y = 2

2. 4X + 2y=4
3X + y = 4



Thanks

First, please see our guidelines for posting homework problems:

You should show us that you've at least made some type of attempt at doing your own work.

But here is an example I did a while back on another post:

Look this over and then see if you can at least make an attempt at your problems. You can submit those attempts for someone to check, or ask about what part you don't understand.

You can't substitute back into the same equation because you can't solve it. You'll just end up with 0 = 0.

Absoultley!

So with X=0, solve for "Y"
