Solve Graph Lesson

Problem:

Solve 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 3; 3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 2

Steps:

I will solve your system by

substitution.
(You can also solve this system
by elimination.)
3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 2; 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 3
Step: Solve 3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 2 for y:
3𝑥 + 𝑦 + −3𝑥 = 2 + −3𝑥 (Add
-3x to both sides)

𝑦 = −3𝑥 + 2
Step: Substitute −3𝑥 + 2 for 𝑦
in 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 3:
4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 3
4𝑥 + 3(−3𝑥 + 2) = 3
−5𝑥 + 6 = 3 (Simplify both sides
of the equation)

−5𝑥 + 6 + −6 = 3 + −6 (Add

-6 to both sides)

−5𝑥 = −3
−5𝑥 = −3 (Divide both sides by
−5 −5
-5)

𝑥= 3
5
Step: Substitute 3 for 𝑥 in
5
𝑦 = −3𝑥 + 2:
𝑦 = −3𝑥 + 2
𝑦 = −3( 3 ) + 2
5
𝑦 = 1 (Simplify both sides of the
5
equation)

Answer:

𝑥 = 3 and 𝑦 = 1
