Question

What is the solution to the system of two equations shown?

Answer 1

The solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4 respectively.      

What is a system of linear equations?

A system of linear equations can be defined as a number of equations needed to solve the equations. For n number of variables n number of equations are required.

The given system of equations is as,

y = 4x + 16                   (1)

y = −2x − 2                  (2)

In order to solve them, substitute equation (2) into (1) as follows,

4x + 16 = −2x − 2

=> 4x + 2x = -2 - 16

=> 6x = -18

=> x  = -3

Then, y = -2 × -3 - 2 = 4

Hence, the solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4.
