Question

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?
2x + 3y = 4
x - 2y = -5

Answer 1

ok:)

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Rearrange equation 2 so that it looks like this:

y=5/2+x/2

Now substitute this into the first equation.

So now you have this:

2x+3(5/2+x/2)=4

Which becomes this: 2x+15/2+3x/2=4

Multiply both sides by 2

Becomes: 4x+15+3x=8

So 7x=-7

x=-1





So x=23

Answer 4

Ignore the "So x=23" I didn't erase it.
