Question

Solve the system of equations algebraically. Verify your

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is the point (0.5,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=4x-5$ ----> equation A

$y=-3$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

$-3=4x-5$

Solve for x

Adds 5 both sides

$-3+5=4x$

$2=4x$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x=0.5$

therefore

The solution is the point (0.5,-3)

Verify your  answer using the graph

using a graphing tool

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (0.5,-3)

therefore

The solution is the point (0.5,-3)

see the attached figure

Answer 2

Answer:

Since y= -3, just put that in the equation.

-3 = 4x - 5

+5         +5

2 = 4x

/4    /4

x=1/2
