1) x - 3y = 6

-x + 3y = -3

2) 2y - 5x = 10

10x - 4y = 6

3) 2x + 3y = 7

x - 4y = -13

4) 3x + 2y = 8

2x - y = 3

these are the systems of equations I don't get...

  1. 1st problem:

    x - 3y = 6

    3y = x - 6

    - x + 3y = - 3

    3y = x - 3

    Solve for x:

    x - 6 = x - 3

    0 = 3 is FALSE

    Answer: There is no solution to this problem. The equation is FALSE.

    2nd problem:

    2y - 5x = 10

    2y = 5x + 10

    10x - 4y = 6

    5x - 2y = 3

    2y = 5x - 3

    Solving for x:

    5x + 10 = 5x - 3

    0 = - 13 is FALSE

    Answer: There is no solution to this problem.

    3rd problem:

    2x + 3y = 7

    3y = 7 - 2x

    y = (7 - 2x)/3

    x - 4y = - 13

    4y = x + 13

    y = (x + 13)/4

    Solving for x:

    4(7 - 2x) = 3(x + 13)

    28 - 8x = 3x + 39

    11x = - 11

    x = - 1

    Solving for y:

    = (7 - 2[- 1])/3

    = (7 + 2)/3

    = 9/3 or 3

    Answer: x = - 1; y = 3

    Proof (1st equation):

    2(- 1) + 3(3) = 7

    - 2 + 9 = 7

    7 = 7

    Proof (2nd equation):

    - 1 - 4(3) = - 13

    - 1 - 12 = - 13

    - 13 = - 13

    4th problem:

    3x + 2y = 8

    2y = 8 - 3x

    y = (8 - 3x)/2

    2x - y = 3

    y = 2x - 3

    Solving for x:

    8 - 3x = 2(2x - 3)

    8 - 3x = 4x - 6

    7x = 14

    x = 2

    Solving for y:

    = (8 - 3[2])/2

    = (8 - 6)/2

    = 2/2 or 1

    Answer: x = 2, y = 1

    Proof (1st equation):

    3(2) + 2(1) = 8

    6 + 2 = 8

    8 = 8

    Proof (2nd equation):

    2(2) - (1) = 3

    4 - 1 = 3

    3 = 3


  2. Well,

    1 and 2 can't be solved.

    3) y = 3

       x = -1

    4) x=2

       y =1

    How told solve?

    Well, I'll show you 3)

    2x + 3y = 7

    x   -  4y = -13

    You multiply -2 to the bottom equation..and you get,

    2x +  3y = 7

    -2x+  8y = 26

    Now, you add both the equations, and you get..

              11y = 33

    Therefore, y = 3

    Since you have 3, you can go back to one of the original equation..

    Like,  2x + 3y = 7   and plug the y-value into the y

    So, you get  2x + 3(3) = 7

    2x + 9 = 7

    2x = 7 - 9

    2x = -2

    x = -1

    Good luck!
