Answer:
the solution is (-1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the system
(3x + 4y = 5)
(2x - 3y = -8)
using the method of elimination by addition and subtraction. Notice that if we multiply all terms of the first equation by 3 and all terms of the second by 4, y as a variable will temporarily disappear:
9x + 12y = 15
8x - 12y = -32
-----------------------
17x = - 17, so x = -1.
Replacing x in the second equation by -1, we get:
2(-1) - 3y = -8, or
2 + 3y = 8,
or 3y = 6. Thus, y = 2, and the solution is (-1, 2).
Answer:
(4,3) is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
4x=20-8y
x=5-2y now use this value of x in the second equation...
3(5-2y)+6y=15
15-6y+6y=15
15=15 This is true for any y or x value.
So there are infinitely many solutions as the two equations describe the same line.
Answer:
option 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x-3
y = 4(1)-3
y = 1
y = 4(3)-3
y = 9
y = 4(5)-3
y = 17
y = 4(7)-3
y = 25
