Question

y + 3 = 2x
y + 4 = 3x

If you use the comparison method to solve the given system, what is the resulting equation?


y + 3 = y + 4
2x - 3 = 3x - 4
2x + 3 = 3x + 4

Answer 1

Solve both equations for y and then set them equal to each other (since they're both now equal to y, they are equal to each other).

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

y+3=2x
y+3(-3)=2x(-3)
y=2x-3

Now do the same for the second equation.
