Question

A system of equations is shown below:

2x = 5y + 4
3x − 2y = −16

What is the solution to this system of equations?

Answer 1

try solving for x in the first equation and then use substitution.

Answer 2

2x = 5y + 4
solve for the x variable

Answer 3

2x = 2 times x
to get x by itself you do the opposite which is division
so you dvide by 2

Answer 4

So, x = 5y + 2?

Answer 5

x = 5/2 y + 2
now substitute.

Answer 6

2x = 5y + 4
x = 2.5 + 2
X = 4.5?

Answer 7
