Math Problem Statement

The solutions to a system of equations above (x and y) from their graphs is: y = 4x - 2 and y = -x + 3

Solution

The system of equations given is:

  1. y=4x2y = 4x - 2 (green line)
  2. y=x+3y = -x + 3 (blue line)

The solution to a system of linear equations graphically is where the two lines intersect. From the graph, it looks like the two lines intersect at the point (1,2)(1, 2).

Thus, the solution is:

  • X=1X = 1
  • Y=2Y = 2

Would you like further details on how to verify this solution algebraically or any other assistance? Here are five related questions for you to consider:

  1. How do you solve a system of linear equations algebraically?
  2. What are the methods for solving a system of equations graphically?
  3. How can you verify if a point is a solution to a system of equations?
  4. What does it mean if two lines on a graph do not intersect?
  5. How can substitution be used to solve a system of equations?

Tip: Always double-check your solution by substituting the values back into the original equations to ensure they satisfy both.
