Answer:

(\frac{5}{2}, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this system of equations:

2x + y = 7

2x - 3y = -1

And we want to find the solution

There are multiply ways to solve systems of equations, but let's solve this one by elimination, where we will add the two equations together to clear one of them, solve for the un-cleared variable, and then use the value of the un-cleared variable to solve for the cleared one

Before clearing a variable, we need to make sure that the signs on the variables are opposites; for example, -3 and 3, which will add together to get 0

We can multiply the equations beforehand if needed in order to manipulate the numbers.

For example, we can multiply the second equation by -1 in order to switch the signs of each number in that equation:

-1(2x-3y=-1)

-2x+3y=1

Now the signs in front of x are 2 and -2, so we can add the equations together to clear them:

2x + y = 7

-2x + 3y = 1

Add the equations together

4y = 8

Divide both sides by 4

y=2

Now let's use 2 as y to solve for x

In the first equation, substitute 2 for y:

2x + 2 = 7

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 5

Divide both sides by 2

x=\frac{5}{2}

As a point, the answer is (\frac{5}{2}, 2)

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not fully sure what your teacher is aiming for. it friends very much on what you were just discussing in class (which I don't know).

but the first thing coming to mind is a minus sign ("-"). squaring a negative number removed the minus and makes the result equal to squaring the same positive number.

just for the undoing the 1/2 :

that is, because a fraction as exponent specifies in its denominator the root to be calculated for the basic value or expression.

so, 1/2 means square root. and yes, square is the inverse function of a square root, and it "undoes" the square root.

in exponent calculation it just means that for exponent 1 to the power of exponent 2 we simply multiply both exponents. and so, 1/2 × 2 = 1

FYI - the numerator still represents an original "to the power of" operation.

so, e.g. 3/2 would mean put the basis to the power of 3 and then do the square root of that result. or the other way around. these operations are commutative (the sequence does not matter).
