Beyonce is solving a system of equations: 2x - 3y = - 2 and 4x + y = 24 She multiplies the second equation by 3 and then adds th

e first equation to find 14x = - 70 showing her that x=5. . Beyonce finds that y=4. Thinking about this process, Beyonce says out loud, " There are lots of ways I could go about solving this problem. I could do the method above or I could multiply the first equation by -2 and add the second . I seem to find that there is only one solution to the two equations but I wonder if I will get the same solution if I use a different method?

Answer:

Yes, Beyonce will get the same solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

2x - 3y = - 2

and

4x + y = 24

If she multiplies the first equation by -2 , she gets,

-4x+6y=4

4x + y = 24

Adding the two equations gives

7y=28

This means y=4

When we put y=4 into the bottom equation we get:

4x+4=24

4x=20

x=5

Therefore Beyonce will still get x=5, and y=4 as solution.

Find $y$ if the point $(-6,y)$ is on the line that passes through $(-1,7)$ and $(3,-2)$.
vichka [17]

Answer:

  y = 18.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be used to write the equation of the line through the given points.

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  y = (-2 -7)/(3 -(-1))(x -(-1)) +7

  y = -9/4(x +1) +7

For x = -6 this evaluates to ...

  y = -9/4(-6 +1) +7 = (9/4)(5) +7 = 45/4 +7

  y = 18 1/4
