Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = A system of equations. y equals StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus 3. x equals negative 2.x + 3

x = –2

(negative 2, negative StartFraction 15 over 2 EndFraction)
(negative 2, StartFraction 5 over 3 EndFraction)
(negative 2, StartFraction 11 over 6 EndFraction)
(negative 2, StartFraction 13 over 3 EndFraction)

Answer 1

Substitute x = -2 into y = (2/3)x + 3:

y = (2/3)(-2) + 3 = -4/3 + 9/3 = 5/3.

So the solution is (-2, 5/3).
