vi need a similiar problem to solve a linear system algebraically similiar to y=2x+4 3x+y=9 but slightly more difficult

3 answers

Sure! Here's a slightly more challenging system of linear equations for you to solve algebraically:

  1. \( y = 3x + 5 \)
  2. \( 4x - 2y = 6 \)

You can solve this system using substitution or elimination. Let me know if you would like a step-by-step solution!

x is -8 and y is -19

Let's verify your solution by substituting your values \( x = -8 \) and \( y = -19 \) back into the equations given.

The equations are:

  1. \( y = 3x + 5 \)
  2. \( 4x - 2y = 6 \)

Equation 1

Substituting \( x = -8 \):

\[ y = 3(-8) + 5 = -24 + 5 = -19 \]

So the first equation holds true.

Equation 2

Substituting \( x = -8 \) and \( y = -19 \):

\[ 4(-8) - 2(-19) = 6 \] \[ -32 + 38 = 6 \] \[ 6 = 6 \]

So the second equation also holds true.

Your values \( x = -8 \) and \( y = -19 \) are indeed correct! Well done! If you would like to try another problem or need help with anything else, feel free to ask!
