A set of equations is given below: Equation H: y = –x + 2 Equation J: y = 3x – 4 Which of the following steps can be used to find the solution to the set of equations? (4 points) –x = 3x – 4 –x +2 = 3x –x + 2 = 3x – 4 –x + 1 = 3x + 2

will give medal

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: substitution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya ik but i dnt understand that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hint: \(\large { \begin{cases} {\color{blue}{ y}} = –x + 2\\ {\color{blue}{ y}} = 3x – 4 \end{cases}\qquad {\color{blue}{ y}} ={\color{blue}{ y}} }\)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we know y = 3x - 4 since it's given

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

replace y with what it is also equal to

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for example y = 2x y = 3x we can say 2x = 3x or 3x = 2x since the 2x and 3x are both equal to y, so they have to be equal to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you slve 4 y
