Question

Solve the system of equations.

y equals x plus 8
y equals 3 x plus 2

Answer 1

(3, 11 )

Explanation:

y = x + 8 → (1)

y = 3x + 2 → (2)

substitute y = 3x + 2 into (1)

3x + 2 = x + 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x + 2 = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

y = 3 + 8 = 11

solution is (3, 11 )

Answer 2

The answer is (3,11) or x = 3, y = 11
