Question

What is the solution of the system of equations?
y= 3x – 1-4x + 2y = 2

Answer 1

X=2, y=5

Explanation:

Y=3x-1 equation 1

-4x+2y=2 equation 2

-4x +2(3x-1)=2 substitute value of y (3x-1) in equation 1 into y value of equ e

-4x+6x-2=2 distributative property

2x=4 solve above equation

x=2

solve for y:

y=3x-1

y=3(2)-1

y=6-1

y=5
