Question

Select the solution to the following system of equations:

Answer 1

Answer: third option

Explanation:

There are 2 ways to go about systems of equations normally, and that's elimination and substitution. For this particular problem, I would recommend elimination.

we see the first equation 4x+2y=4

we want to be able to simplify it as much as possible (so it's easier to solve)

so we divide all the terms by 2, giving 2x+y=2.

the second equation can't be simplified, so we set up the elimination method.

2x+y=2

-3x-y=-7

multiplying both equations by 2 and 3, we subtract them and get that y equals 4, which is clearly the answer.

Answer 2

4x+2y=4

3x-y=-7

first one by 3

second by 4

12x+6y=12

12x-4y=-28

subtract

10y=40

y=4

plug in

3x-4=-7

add 4

3x=-3

x=-1

(-1,4)
