What is the solution to the following system of linear equations:
* Line 1: y=3x – 1
* Line 2: y= x – 5 | Set the Two Equations Equal to each other then solve for x
1) Substitute the x value, -2, into either equation to determine y coordinate of solution
2) y=(-2) - 5 or -7
3) The solution is the point (-2, -7) |
Set the two equations equal to calculate the solution to the system below:
* Line 1: y= x + 1
* Line 2: y= 2x | y= x + 1 and y= 2x
x+1 = 2x
-x -x
1=x
y=2(1)
y=2
solution= (1,2)
The solution of this system is the point of intersection : (1,2) |
Solve the following system of linear equations by graphing.
* 2y = 4x + 2
* and 2y = -x + 7 | * 2y = 4x + 2
o ½(2y) = ½(4x + 2)
o y = 2x +1
* 2y = 8x - 2
o ½(2y) = ½(8x - 2)
o y = 4x – 1
the solution of the point is (1,3) |
Solve the following system by substitution.
y = 36 – 9x
3x + y/3 = 12 | 3x + (36 – 9x)/3 = 12
3x + 12 – 3x = 12
12 = 12
solution: y = 36 – 9x |
solve for one variable.
6x + 2y = 9 and 4x + y - 5 = 10. | 6x + 2y = 9 ,4x + y - 5 = 10
[ - 4x] 4x + y - 5 = 10 [ - 4x]
y - 5 [ + 5] = 10 - 4x + 5
y = 10 - 4x + 5
6x + 2y = 9
6x +2(10 - 4x + 5) = 9
6x + 20 - 8x +10 = 9
[ - 30] -2x + 30 = 9 [ - 30]
- 2x = - 21
x = 10.5
y = - 27 |
solve this system of equations and check.
y - 2x = 11
y + 2x = 9 | 3y - 2x = 11
y = 9 - 2x
3(9 - 2x) - 2x = 11
(27 - 6x) - 2x = 11
27 - 6x - 2x = 11
27 - 8x = 11
-8x = -16
x =2 |
Solve the following system:
x + y = 11
3x - y = 5 | Now, substitute 11 - x for y
in the second equation
3x - (11 - x) = 5
3x - 11 + x = 5
4x = 16
x = 4
Now, substitute 4 for x
4 + y = 11
y = 7
(4, 7) |
