Question

B.
-2x + 8 = y
3x - y = 22

How do I solve it

Answer 1

(x, y)=(6, -4)

Explanation:

-2x+8=y

3x-y=22

Substitute the given value of y into the equation 3x-y=22

3x-(-2x=8)=22

Solve the equation for x

x=6

Substitute the given value of x into the equation 3x-y=22

3x6-y=22

Solve the equation for y

y=-4

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair (x, y)

(x, y)=(6, -4)

Check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equations

-2x6+8=-4

3x6-(-4)=22

Simplify the equalities

-4=-4

22=22

Since all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system

(x, y)=(6, -4)

Answer 2

x=6, y=-2

explanation

-2x + 8 = y -------equ 1

3x - y = 22 -------equ 2

u can use any of the simultaneous equation method

using elimination method

rearrange first from -------equ 1

-2x+8=y

-y-2x=-8

multiple through by -1

y+2x=8 -------equ 3

rearrange first from -------equ 2

3x-y=22

-y+3=22 ------equ 4

equate 3 and 4, adding them together

y+2x=8 -------equ 3

-y+3=22 ------equ 4

0+5x=30

5x=30

x=6------equ 5

replace 6 for x in any equation

using -------equ 3

y+2x=8

y+2(5)=8

y+10=8

y=8-10

y=-2
