Question

If - 2x + 3 = 7 and 3x + 1 = 5+ y, the value of y is

Answer 1

Answer:

The value for x is -2 and the value for y is -10 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly , let's write the equations

1.               -2x+3=7      (   equation 1 )
2.               3x+1 =5+y    (equation 2 )

 

solving equation 1 to get the values of x

          or ,    -2x+3=7          

      or,  -2x+3-3 =7-3 (subtracting -3 on both sides )

       or ,  -2x=4

        or,  -2x/2  =   4/2  (dividing  by two on both sides )

         or ,  -x =2

           or  x = -2

now let's substitute the values of x  in the equation 2

           3x+1 =5+y (writing second equation as it is )

           or, 3x+1-1=5+y-1 (subtracting  -1 on both sides )

            or , 3x = 4+y  

              or , 3 × -2 = 4+y  (substituting the values of x from equation 1 )

                or ,  -6  =  4 +y

                   or ,  -6-4 = 4+y-4 ( subtracting -4 on both sides  )

                     or ,    -10 = y

      Therefore the values of x and y is -2 and  -10 respectively .
