Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Concept:</u>

There are three ways to solve the system of equations

  • Substitution
  • Elimination
  • Graphing

Here, we would use <u>substitution </u>because we have two same variables.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Solve:</u>

Given

y = -2x + 8

y = x - 4

Substitute

-2x + 8 = x - 4

Add 4 on both sides

-2x + 8 + 4 = x - 4 + 4

-2x + 12 = x

Add 2x on both sides

-2x + 12 + 2x = x + 2x

12 = 3x

Divide 3 on both sides

12 / 3 = 3x / 3

x = 4

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the solution of the system x − 3y = –13 and 5x + 7y = 34? A. `x = (6)/(5)`, y = 4 B. `x = (7)/(2), y = (9)/(2)` C. `x =
Masteriza [31]

For this case we have the following system of equations:

x-3y = -13\\5x + 7y = 34

From the first equation we clear "x":

x = -13 + 3y

We substitute in the second equation:

5 (-13 + 3y) + 7y = 34

We apply distributive property:

-65 + 15y + 7y = 34

We add similar terms:

-65 + 22y = 34

We add 65 to both sides:

22y = 34 + 65\\22y = 99

We divide between 22 on both sides:

y = \frac {99} {22}\\y = \frac {9} {2}

We look for the value of the variable "x":

x = -13 + 3 \frac {9} {2}\\x = -13 + \frac {27} {2}\\x = \frac {-26 + 27} {2}\\x = \frac {1} {2}

Thus, the solution of the system is:

(x, y): (\frac {1} {2}, \frac {9} {2})

ANswer:

(x, y): (\frac {1} {2}, \frac {9} {2})
