Question

Using complete sentences, explain which method you would use to solve the following system of equations and why you chose that method. Show your work and provide the solution to the system.

3x + 2y = 7
4x – 3y = –2

Answer 1

ohh i hate these questions like u can tell they r staright out of a textbook like idk they r soo annoying. ok fisrtly lets choose a method

Answer 2

i would use elimination in my opinion

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

so lets solve using elimination and eliminate they y so we wld have to multiply equation #1 by 3 and equation # 2 by 2

Answer 5

3(3x+2y=7)= 9x+6y=21
2(4x-3y=-2)= 8x-6y= -4

Answer 6

so we can add the 2 new equations and we get
17x=17
x=1

Answer 7

mhm

Answer 8

ok now we plug x into any of our equations
3(1)+2y=7
2y=4
y=2
x=1 and y=2
So these two equations meet at the point (1,2)

Answer 9

I have chosen the elimination method since when using subsitution you are likely to end up with fractions which confuses me and I tend to make mistakes hahahhahahah

Answer 10

idk i guess smth along those lines

Answer 11

Well that is y i chose the elimmination method

Answer 12

Since if i wld use the subsitution method I wld have to deal with fractions which I definately hate

Answer 13

yeah me tooo! i feel yaa! thankss :)

Answer 14

hah ur welcome
