Question

Please please please help me I really need help if you don’t know the answer move along

Find the solution to the following system. Explain how you got your
answer, step-by-step.

3x + 4y = 36
y=-1/2x+8

Answer 1

(x,y)=(4,6)

Explanation:

3x+4y=36

y=-1/2 x+8

step 1: substitute the value of y

`3x+4(-(1)/(2)x+8)=36`

step 2: solve equation for x

`3x+4(-(1)/(2)x+8)=36`

3x-2x+32=36

x+32=36

x=36-32

x=4

step 3: substitute the value of x

`y=-(1)/(2) (4)+8`

Step 4: solve equation for y

`y=-(1)/(2) (4)+8`

y=-2+8

y=6

there for the answer is

(x,y)=(4,6)
