Question

In which quadrant is the solution to this system of equations

Answer 1

We will have the following:

We must first solve the system, that is:

-2(-2y + 5x = 4)

-4y + 3x = -6

-------------------------

4y -10x = -8

-4y + 3x = -6

----------------------

-7x = -14 => x = 2

Now, we solve for y:

`\begin{gathered} -2y+5(2)=4\Rightarrow-2y=-6 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=3 \end{gathered}`

So, the solution of the system is (2, 3); thus the solution is found in the first quadrant.
