System of Linear Equations entered :

  [1]    4x - 2y = 2

  [2]    3x - 2y = -19

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   -2y + 4x = 2        -2y + 3x = -19  

 

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  x

 [2]    3x = 2y - 19

 [2]    x = 2y/3 - 19/3

// Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    4•(2y/3-19/3) - 2y = 2

  [1]    2y/3 = 82/3

  [1]    2y = 82

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  y

  [1]    2y = 82

  [1]    y = 41

// By now we know this much :

   x = 2y/3-19/3

   y = 41

// Use the  y  value to solve for  x

   x = (2/3)(41)-19/3 = 21

Solution :

{x,y} = {21,41}
