Solve the system of linear equations in two variables by elimination or substitution.

Answer:

x = 0.8    y = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve one of the equations for a single variable, I chose the 2nd equation and solved for the variable y and I got y = 2x -1.

Next plug in the value for y into the 1st equation, I got :

2x + 4 ( 2x - 1) = 4

Next solve for x by first distributing the 4 to the (2x-1), this becomes (8x -4) then add like terms and move the -4 to the other side of the equation by addition. I got 10x =8 then I divided 8/10 to solve for x and I got 0.8.

Now plug the value 0.8 in for x in the 2nd equation : 2*(0.8) - y = 1

Then solve for y by subtracting 2*(0.8) or 1.6 from 1 and I got -0.6, lastly divide by -1 to solve for y.

Minchanka [31]
5x-y+3=0
-y = -5x-3
y = 5x+3
Y = mx+b

M = slope = 5/1 = 5

Combining like terms<br> 2 + 3x - X=4x
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal- get all X's on one side, and all whole numbers on the other

2+3x -x = 4x

First, combine like terms on each side of the equal sign

2+ 2x = 4x

Next, think about the additive inverse property. What, added to 2x, equals 0? 2x + (-2x) =0! So, we <u>subtract</u> 2x from both sides!

2= 4x-2x

Simplify

2= 2x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (in this case, 2)

2/2 = x

2/2 is equal to 1

1= x

Hope this helps!
