Review the graphs of a system of these two linear equations in two variables: y=4x−10 and y=−2x+8 Find the solution of the system. (1 point) The solution of the system of equations is

1 answer

To find the solution of the system of equations represented by the lines \( y = 4x - 10 \) and \( y = -2x + 8 \), we need to determine the point where these two lines intersect. This is done by setting the two equations equal to each other:

\[ 4x - 10 = -2x + 8 \]

Now, we will solve for \( x \):

  1. Add \( 2x \) to both sides:

\[ 4x + 2x - 10 = 8 \]

\[ 6x - 10 = 8 \]

  1. Add 10 to both sides:

\[ 6x = 18 \]

  1. Divide by 6:

\[ x = 3 \]

Now that we have found \( x = 3 \), we can substitute this value back into either of the original equations to find \( y \). Let's use the first equation:

\[ y = 4(3) - 10 \]

\[ y = 12 - 10 \]

\[ y = 2 \]

Therefore, the solution of the system of equations is the point:

\[ \boxed{(3, 2)} \]
