Question

An equation is shown below.

2x + y = 3

Part A: Explain how you will show all of the solutions that satisfy this equation.

Part B: Determine three different solutions for this equation.

Part C: Write an equation that can be paired with the given equation in order to form a system of equations that is inconsistent.

I know for starters to make this a lot easier I should graph the equation but to do that I need to get it into y=mx+b and I need help doing that so if anyone can explain the steps to do this problem I could really use the help!!

Answer 1

In order to put into y=mx + b, you have to isolate the y by subtracting the 2x from each side. So, in the end, you should get y=-2x+3 ( -2 = m, b=3)

Answer 2

Thank you @starrynight do you happen to know how to do part b or part c ?

Answer 3

I don't know if this is right but you can try to isolate for x which can be considered as another solution

Answer 4

Ok thank you
