Answer:

<h3>Option 4: y = 3 – 2a</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

ax + by = ab  ......... 1

2ax + 3by = 3b .....2

Required

Express y in terms of a

Using elimination method to eliminate x variable.

eqn 1 * 2 and eqn 2 *1 will give;

2ax + 2by = 2ab

2ax + 3by = 3b

Subtract

2by - 3by = 2ab - 3b

-by = 2ab - 3b

-by = b(2a-3)

-y = 2a-3

multiply through by -1

y = -2a + 3

y = 3-2a

Hence the value of y in terms of a is y = 3-2a

Solve the system of equations Please If you could solve this it would honestly mean so much! Thank you!
Kay [80]

Answer:

(2, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of different ways to do this, but I am going to use substitution since we already have one of those equations solved for y.  If y=3x+2, then we can sub 3x+2 in for y in the other equation:

-3x + 2(3x + 2) = 10 and

-3x + 6x + 4 = 10 and

3x + 4 = 10 and

3x = 6 so

x = 2.  Now that we know x = 2, we can sub a 2 in for x in either equation to solve for y:

y = 3x + 2 gives us, with the substitution, y = 3(2) + 2 so y = 8.  The solution set is (2, 8)
