Question

Graph the system below and write it's solution.

Y=-1/2x-2
3x+y=3
Note you can also answer no solution or infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

We can use substitution since y is isolated. 3x+(-1/2x-2)=3
Distribute 5/2x-2=3 add 2 from both sides to get the variable by itself.
5/2x=5 multiply by denominator to get rid of the fraction (both sides) 5x=10 divide by five to isolate. x=2
