Question

What is the value of y in the solution to the system of equations?

1 x + 2 y = 1
2x – 3y = -30
0-8
0-3
03
O 8

Answer 1

Answer: y = 32/7

Explanation:

Solve the first equation for x by subtracting the 2y from the left side and getting: x = 1 - 2y.

Plug this in to the second equation: 2(1 - 2y) - 3y = -30 → 2 - 4y - 3y = -30 →

-7y = -32 → y = 32/7. Hope this helps!
