Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?
y= 2/3x + 3

X=-2

Answer 1

(x, y) = (-2, 5/3)

Explanation:

The system of equations is easily solved by substitution.

Solution

Using the given value of x, substitute for x in the first equation to find y.

y = 2/3(-2) +3

y = -4/3 +9/3 = 5/3

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 5/3).
