Let's solve your system by substitution.
y=2x+1;y=4x−1
Step: Solve y=2x+1for y:
y=2x+1
Step: Substitute2x+1foryiny=4x−1:
y=4x−1
2x+1=4x−1
2x+1+−4x=4x−1+−4x(Add -4x to both sides)
−2x+1=−1
−2x+1+−1=−1+−1(Add -1 to both sides)
−2x=−2
−2x
−2
=
−2
−2
(Divide both sides by -2)
x=1
Step: Substitute1forxiny=2x+1:
y=2x+1
y=(2)(1)+1
y=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=1 and y=3
Q1) 20 minutes past 8
Q2) Four O’clock
For letter b:
First times 5 on both sides to get rid of the denominator of 5
5 * y
— = 4 * 5
5
Then the answer is
y = 20
For letter c:
First move constants on one side, variables on the other
2g = 17 - 8
Then collect like terms:
2g = 9
Then divide both sides which would equal:
g = 9/2
I feel like I’m seeing the same question a lot
