Question

Given the system below, describe how you would find the solution. You can either use complete sentences to tell how you would graph and what the result would be or you can create a graph on paper and submit a picture of it as your answer. Please make sure you are clear about what the solution is to the system.

x + 2y= -2
-x + 4y= -16

Answer 1

y= -3 x=4

Explanation:

Solve for each variable. Once youve done that, you have the underlined answers. Plug in one variable into the opposite equation. I put x's underlined value into y's equation. Solve for y again using x's value. Y equals -3. Plug this number into x's underlined value to find that x equals 4.
