Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

To determineTo the solve the solution to system the of equations given system:

of$$equations:

y\ =[ -yx + = - 3x + \ quad \3text \quad{and} \text{ \andquad} y \ = 4quad yx = - 4x2 - \2]

, we$$

willwe determine where solve the for two the equations point intersect \ by(( solving forx , yx)\) where and the ( twoy lines\ intersect).

.



Step### 1: Step Set the two1 equations: Set equal the two equations equal to to each each other other

SinceSince both expressions both equations are are equal equal to to \( yy\,), we can we set equate them them equal:

:

-x-x + + 33 = = 44xx - - 22. \$$ ] --- --- ###### Step Step 22:: Solve Solve for $$for \( xx\$$ ) 11.. Add Add $$\( xx \$$) to to both both sides sides to eliminate: $$\3 =(- x\) on the left: \[ 3 = 5x - 52x - 2.$$ 2. Add 2 to both sides : \\] [ 25. = Add \(52x\. )\ to] both3 sides.: Divide\[ by5 =5: $$5xx =\ ] 13. .\ Divide] by \(--- ###5 Step \): 3\:[ Solvex for = \( y1 \) \Sub] stitute--- $$### x Step = 3:1 Solve$$ for into \( eithery equation\ (use) $$Sub ystitute \( =x - =x + 3$$): \[ y = -(1 )1\ +) into either of the original equations.
