Question

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?

-2x + y = 0
-73 + 3y = 2

Answer 1

-2x + y = 0 (equation1)
-73 + 3y = 2 (equation 2)
First of all, rearrange and simplify equation so they’re in the format of y= ax + b.

Equation 1
-2x + y = 0
y = 2x + 0
y = 2x

Equation2:
-73+3y=2
3y = 2 + 73
3y = 75
3y/3 = 75/3
y= 25
Subtract second equation from first:)
y= 2x - 25
Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

The result is 2x + 2y - 73 = 2.
