Question

Y = 4x – 10

y = 2
What is the solution to the system of equations?

(3, 2)
(2, 3)
(–2, 2)
(2, –2)

Answer 1

(3,2)

Explanation:

y = 4x – 10...(1) y = 2...(2) You have y=2 here, substitute it in equation (1),

y = 4x – 10 2 = 4x – 10

Add both sides by 10 12=4x

Divide both sides by 4 x=3

We have x=3, and y=2. ==> (x,y) = (3,2)

Answer 2

(3,2)

Explanation:

y = 4x – 10

y = 2

Substitute the second equation into the first

2 = 4x-10

Add 10 to each side

2+10 = 4x-10+10

12 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

12/4 =4x/4

3 = x

The solution is

(3,2)
