Answer:

(2, - 1 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 4x - 9 → (1)

y = x - 3 → (2)

Substitute y = 4x - 9 into (2)

4x - 9 = x - 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 9 = - 3 ( add 9 to both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting into (2)

y = 2 - 3 = - 1

solution is (2, - 1 )

Explanation

  • Given the system of equations.


\begin{cases} y = 4x - 9 \\ y = x - 3 \end{cases}

We can combine both equations


4x - 9 = x - 3

Solve the equation.


4x - x = 9 - 3 \\ 3x = 6 \\ x = (6)/(3) \longrightarrow (2)/(1) \\ x = 2

Then we substitute the value of x in any given equations which I will be substituting in the second equation


y = x - 3 \\ y = 2 - 3 \\ y = - 1

Therefore, from x = 2 and y = -1, the solution is (2,-1)

Answer Check

Substitute the value of x and y in both equations.

First Equatio


y = 4x - 9 \\ - 1 = 4(2) - 9 \\ - 1 = 8 - 9 \\ - 1 = - 1

Second Equation


y = x - 3 \\ - 1 = 2 - 3 \\ - 1 = - 1

Both equations are true for (2,-1).

Answer


\begin{cases} x = 2 \\ y = - 1 \end{cases} \\ \sf \underline{coordinate} \\ (2,-1)
