Question

3x-4y=0 2x+y=110 no solution

Answer 1

Answer:

  (x, y) = (40, 30)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator can show you the solution to this system of equations is (x, y) = (40, 30). That is the point of intersection where the two lines cross.

An algebraic solution can be found by using the substitution method. An expression for y can be found using the second equation:

  y = 110 -2x . . . . . . subtract 2x from both sides

Using this in the first equation gives ...

  3x -4(110 -2x) = 0 . . . . substitute for y

  11x = 440 . . . . . . . . . simplify, add 440

  x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 11

  y = 110 -2(40) = 30

The solution is (x, y) = (40, 30).
