Question

Y = 4x – 10 y = 2 What is the solution to the system of equations?

Answer 1

(3, 2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The solution is

`(3,2)`

EXPLANATION

We were given the equations

`y=4x-10--(1)`

and

`y=2----equation (2)`

This is a simultaneous equation in
`x` and
`x`.

But the coefficient of
`x` in the second equation is zero. that is why it seems to be absent.

We solve these two equations simultaneously

by putting
`y=2` in to equation (1).

Tis gives;

`2=4x-10`

We add 10 to both sides to get;

`12=4x`

we divide through by 4 to get

`3=x`

Hence the solution for the system is
`(3,2)`
