in order to solve the following system of equations by subtraction, which of the following could you do before subtracting the equations so that one variable will be eliminated when you subtract them?
4x-2y=7
3x-3y=15

Respuesta :

The following system of equation can be solved by first substituting the dependent variable in the other equation . The solution yields x = -1.5 and y = 6.5 .

What is the solution of the given system of equation ?

The two equations are given as -

4x-2y=7

3x-3y=15

First substituting the value of x from the first equation and then putting that value in the second equation for the following system of equation.

From first equation,

⇒ 4x = 7 + 2y

∴  x = (7 + 2y)/4

Putting this value of x in second equation,

⇒ 3*(7 + 2y)/4 - 3y = 15

⇒ 3*(7 + 2y) - 12y = 60

⇒ 21 + 6y - 12y = 60

⇒ -6y = 39

∴  y = -6.5

∴ x = (7 + 2y)/4 = -1.5

Thus x = -1.5 and y = -6.5

Therefore, the following system of equation can be solved by first substituting the dependent variable in the other equation . The solution yields x = -1.5 and y = 6.5 .
