Solve the simultaneous equation 2x + 3y = 7 3x + 2y = 8​

Mathematics

Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 7 → (1)

3x + 2y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 2 and adding will eliminate x

6x + 9y = 21 → (3)

- 6x - 4y = - 16 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 5y = 5

5y = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 1

substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

2x + 3(1) = 7

2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 1 )

The slope of the line is m=3/4. One point is (x, 2) and (3,-4)<br> Find X
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope (3/4) and a point (3,-4), so we can use point-slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)

Substitute the numbers into the equation

y--4=3/4(x-3)

simplify

y+4=3/4(x-3)

do the distributive property

y+4=3/4x-9/4

subtract 4 from both sides

y=3/4x-25/4

this is the equation of the line.

Since it says that (x,2) is a point in the equation, we can substitute it into the equation

2=3/4x-25/4

add 25/4 to both sides

33/4=3/4x

multiply by 4/3

11=x

we can double check by plugging (11,2) into the equation of the line.

2=3/4(11)-25/4

2=33/4-25/4

2=2

it works! :)

Hope this helps!
