Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = A system of equations. y equals StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus 3. x equals negative 2.x + 3

x = –2

(negative 2, negative StartFraction 15 over 2 EndFraction)
(negative 2, StartFraction 5 over 3 EndFraction)
(negative 2, StartFraction 11 over 6 EndFraction)
(negative 2, StartFraction 13 over 3 EndFraction)

Answer 1

negative 2, StartFraction 5 over 3 EndFraction)

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(b) (negative 2, StartFraction 5 over 3 EndFraction)

Explanation:

The value of x is given, so you only need to substitute that into the first equation to find y.

y = 2/3(-2) +3 = -4/3 +9/3

y = 5/3

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 5/3).
