Question

An equation is shown below. 3(2x+1)+5=2(3x+5) Which of the following statements describes the solutions to this equation?

Answer 1

Student should show that the solution to the system of equations 7x - y = 4 and 2x - 3y = 1 is the same as the solution to the given system of equations.

Explanation:

Given System of equations is 5x + 2y = 3 (equation 1) and 2x - 3y = 1 (equation 2)

Second System of equations is 2x - 3y = 1 and 7x - y = 4

How we got 7x - y = 4

Step 1: Multiply 2x - 3y = 1 by 1, we get the same 2x - 3y = 1

Step 2: Add 5x + 2y = 3 with 2x - 3y = 1

5x + 2x + 2y - 3y = 1

7x - 3y = 1

We have got second equation 7x - 3y = 1

Thus, Student should show that the solution to the system of equations 7x - y = 4 and 2x - 3y = 1 is the same as the solution to the given system of equations.
