To create a similar problem involving a linear system that can be solved algebraically, we'll maintain similar structures and relationships.
Here's a new system of equations:
- \( y = 3x + 1 \)
- \( 4x + y = 13 \)
To solve this system algebraically, you can follow these steps:
- Substitute \(y\) from the first equation into the second equation.
- Solve for \(x\).
- Substitute the value of \(x\) back into the first equation to find \(y\).
Let's break it down:
Step 1: Substitute \(y\)
From the first equation, we have:
\[ y = 3x + 1 \]
Substituting \(y\) in the second equation:
\[ 4x + (3x + 1) = 13 \]
Step 2: Solve for \(x\)
Combine like terms:
\[ 4x + 3x + 1 = 13 \] \[ 7x + 1 = 13 \]
Subtract \(1\) from both sides:
\[ 7x = 12 \]
Now, divide by \(7\):
\[ x = \frac{12}{7} \]
Step 3: Solve for \(y\)
Now, substitute \(x\) back into the first equation:
\[ y = 3\left(\frac{12}{7}\right) + 1 \] \[ y = \frac{36}{7} + 1 = \frac{36}{7} + \frac{7}{7} = \frac{43}{7} \]
Solution
The solution to the system of equations is:
\[ x = \frac{12}{7}, \quad y = \frac{43}{7} \]
This new system mirrors the structure of your original problem, allowing for similar methods of algebraic solution.
