System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] -4x - 3y = -7
[2] 16x - 3y = 13
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
-3y - 4x = -7 -3y + 16x = 13
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 16x = 3y + 13
[2] x = 3y/16 + 13/16
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] -4•(3y/16+13/16) - 3y = -7
[1] - 15y/4 = -15/4
[1] - 15y = -15
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 15y = 15
[1] y = 1
// By now we know this much :
x = 3y/16+13/16
y = 1
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = (3/16)(1)+13/16 = 1
Solution :
{x,y} = {1,1}
Answer:176 psychology textbooks and 98 Biology textbooks were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of psychology textbooks that were sold.
Let y represent the number of biology textbooks that were sold.
textbook store sold a combined total of 274 psychology and biology textbooks in a week. This means that
x + y = 274 - - - - - - - - - - -1
The number of psychology textbooks sold was 78 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. This means that
x = y + 78
Substituting x = y + 78 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 78 + y = 274
2y = 274 - 78
2y = 196
y = 98
x = y + 78 = 98 + 78
x = 176
