Math Problem Statement

y = 2 − 3x y = 2 + x

Solution

To solve the system of linear equations:

y=23xy = 2 - 3x y=2+xy = 2 + x

we can use the substitution or elimination method. Here, we will use the substitution method since both equations are already solved for yy.

  1. Set the right-hand sides of the equations equal to each other:

23x=2+x2 - 3x = 2 + x

  1. Solve for xx:

23x=2+x2 - 3x = 2 + x 22=3x+x2 - 2 = 3x + x 0=4x0 = 4x x=0x = 0

  1. Substitute x=0x = 0 back into one of the original equations to find yy:

Using y=2+xy = 2 + x:

y=2+0y = 2 + 0 y=2y = 2

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

x=0x = 0 y=2y = 2
