Question

Find the solution to the system of equations: x + 3y = 7 and 2x + 4y = 8 1. Isolate x in the first equation: 2. Substitute the value for x into the second equation: 3. Solve for y:       4. Substitute y into either original equation: 5. Write the solution as an ordered pair:     x = 7 – 3y 2(7 – 3y) + 4y = 8 14 – 6y + 4y = 8 14 – 2y = 8 –2y = –6 y = 3 x + 3(3) = 7 (, )

Answer 1

Answer:

Thx. (-2, 3) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

X + 3y = 7
x = -3y + 7

2x + 4y = 8
2(-3y + 7) + 4y = 8
-6y + 14 + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 14
-2y = - 6
y = -6/-2
y = 3

x + 3y = 7
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7
x = 7 - 9
x = -2

solution is (-2,3)
