Use the elimination method to solve the following system of equations.

1 answer:

8 0

Notice -y in the first equation and y in the second equation. If you add -y to y, you get zero, and the y variable is eliminated. We add the equations to use the elimination method and eliminate y.

3x - y = 1

-2x + y = 2

Add equations to get

x = 3

Now that we have x = 3, we substitute 3 for x in the first equation and solve for y.

3(3) - y = 1

9 - y = 1

-y = -8

y = 8

Solution: x = 3; y = 8

Answer:

15 customers were outside

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent customers inside with x and customers outside with y.

So, we have:

$x = \frac{1}{3}y - 2$ --- First Statement

$x = 3$ --- Second Statement

Required

Find y

Substitute 3 for x in $x = \frac{1}{3}y - 2$

$3 = \frac{1}{3}y - 2$

Add 2 to both sides

$2 + 3 = \frac{1}{3}y - 2 + 2$

$2 + 3 = \frac{1}{3}y$

$5= \frac{1}{3}y$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3 * 5= \frac{1}{3}y *3$

$15 = y$

$y = 15$

<em>Hence; 15 customers were outside</em>
