1. Solve the following system of equations for x and y:
y = 4x - 10
y = 5 - x
2. Solve the following system of equations for x and y:
x = y - 2
y = 10 - 3x
3. Solve the following system of equations for x and y:
y = 9 - 2x
3y - 2x = 11
I'll give you some hints
1. y = 4x - 10
y = 5 - x set the y's equal
4x - 10 = 5 - x can you take it from here???
3. y = 9 - 2x
3y - 2x = 11 put the first equation into the second for y
3[ 9 - 2x] = 11
27 - 6x = 11 now....it should be easy......
Try 2 for yourself....it is similar to 3
1)
Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other through substitution
4x-10=5-x
Step 2: Separate the variables on one side and the constants on the other
5x=15
Step 3: Divide both sides by 5 to get the x value
x=3
Step 4: Substitute x back into any equation of your choosing
I chose 5-x=y
5-(3)=y
y=2
Now go and do the other problems you lazy slacker
Also check with your teacher & ask your parents
I'll give you some hints
