Question

Which ordered pair is the solution of the system of equations? 3x+2y=4, -2+2y=24

Answer 1

x = -7.33 OR x =
`(-22)/(3)`

y = 13

Explanation:

→You can use the substitution method. First, make y by itself in (-2 + 2y = 24):

-2 + 2y = 24

2y = 26

y = 13

→Then, plug in 13 for y into the other equation:

3x + 2y = 4

3x + 2(13) = 4

3x + 26 = 4

3x = -22

x = -7.33 OR x =
`(-22)/(3)`
