Question

What is the solution to this system?

3
y = -x + 1
2X
y = -x - 4
o (0, -2)
0 (-2, 2)
(2,-2)
(-2,-2)

Answer 1

Equation Form: x=−2,y=−2

Explanation:

Eliminate the equal sides of each equation and combine.

3/2x+1=−x−4

Solve 3/2x+1=−x−4

for x. x=−2

Evaluate y when x=−2.

y=−2

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

(−2,−2)

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

(−2,−2)

Equation Form:

x=−2,y=−2
