Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that (4, 2) is NOT a solution to the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

$y = x - 2$

$y = 3x + 4$

Important Tip:

• In order to determine whether (4, 2) is a solution to the system of equations or not, we need to solve the system of equations.

Let us solve the system of equations using the elimination method.

$\begin{bmatrix}y=x-2\\ y=3x+4\end{bmatrix}$

Arrange equation variables for elimination

$\begin{bmatrix}y-x=-2\\ y-3x=4\end{bmatrix}$

Subtract the equations

$y-3x=4$

$-$

$\underline{y-x=-2}$

$-2x=6$

Now, solve -2x = 6 for x

$-2x=6$

Divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{6}{-2}$

Simplify

$x=-3$

For y - x = -2 plug in x = -3

$y-\left(-3\right)=-2$

$y+3=-2$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$y+3-3=-2-3$

Simplify

$y=-5$

The solution to the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-3, -5)

Checking the graph

From the graph, it is also clear that (4, 2) is NOT a solution to the system of equations because (-3, -5) is the only solution as we have found earlier.

Therefore, we conclude that (4, 2) is NOT a solution to the system of equations.
