We'll solve the first system of equations using
substitution
technique:
x=3y
We'll
substitute x by 3y, in the second equation of the
system:
3*3y+y=10
We'll
combine like
terms:
9y+y=10
10y=10
We'll
divide by 10 both
sides:
y=1
Now,
all we'll substitute the value for y into the first
equation:
x=3y
x=3*1
x=3
The
solution of the system is {(1 , 3)}.
Let's
solve the second system of equations:
2x + 7y =
1
2x - 2y = 9
We'll solve this
system using the substitution
method:
2x=1-7y
Now, instead
of 2x, we'll write in the second equation 1-7y.
1 - 7y - 2y
=9
We'll combine like terms:
1
- 9y=9
We'll subtract 1 both
sides:
-9y=8
We'll divide by
-9 both
sides:
y=-8/9
But 2x=1-7y
and y=-8/9.
2x = 1 + 7*8/9
2x
= 1 + 56/9
2x = (9+56)/9
2x =
65/9
We'll divide by
2:
x =
65/18
The solution of the
system is: {(-8/9 , 65/18)}.
