Answer:

a. Substitution method.

b. Elimination method.

c. Graph method.

Explanation:

Given the following algebraic expressions;

a. y = 3x + 10 ....... equation 1

2x - 4y = -6 ...... equation 2

The above would be solved using substitution method.

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

2x - 4(3x + 10) = -6

2x - 12x - 40 = -6

-10x = -6 + 40

-10x = 34

x = 34/10

x = 3.4

y = 3x + 10 = 3*3.4 + 10

y = 10.2 + 10 = 20.2

b. 9x + 2y = 29 ...... equation 1

3x - 2y = -17 ...... equation 2

The above would be solved using elimination method.

Adding eqn 1 to eqn 2, we have;

(9x + 3x) + (2y + (-2y)) = (29 + (-17))

12x + 0 = 12

12x = 12

x = 12/12 = 1

To find y, from eqn 1;

9(1) + 2y = 29

2y = 29 - 9

2y = 20

y = 20/2 = 10

c. y = 3/2x - 5

y = 2x + 8

The above would be solved using a graph method.

You choose a range for the value of y and x. These values are then plotted against each other and the slope of the graph is determined.
