Question

Complete the equations so that the solution of the system of equations is (−1, −4). y= ?X−11 6x− ? Y=10

Answer 1

Answer:

y = –7x – 11

6x – 4y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

x = –1

y = –4

y = ?x – 11 ....... (1)

6x – ?y = 10b......... (2)

Let the two unknown be a and b. Thus the above equation becomes:

y = ax – 11 ......... (3)

6x – by = 10 .......(4)

Next, we shall determine the value of 'a' and 'b'. This can be obtained as follow:

For a:

y = ax – 11

x = –1

y = –4

–4 = a(–1) – 11

–4 = –a – 11

Collect like terms

–4 + 11 = –a

7 = –a

Multiply through by –1

a = –7

For b:

6x – by = 10

x = –1

y = –4

6(–1) – b(–4) = 10

–6 + 4b = 10

Collect like terms

4b = 10 + 6

4b = 16

Divide both side by 4

b = 16 / 4

b = 4

Finally, we shall substitute the value of a and be into equation 3 and 4 respectively.

y = ax – 11

a = –7

y = –7x – 11

6x – by = 10

b = 4

6x – 4y = 10

Therefore, the complete equation are:

y = –7x – 11

6x – 4y = 10
