Question

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?
−x = 3x − 4
−x +2 = 3x
−x + 2 = 3x − 4
−x + 1 = 3x + 2

Answer 1

Because both equations are in terms of y, they’re both equal to each other

So set equation H = equation J. Don’t solve yet, just set it up. What do you get?

Answer 2

\[-x+2=3x-4\]

Add x to both sides .

\[2=4x-4\]
Then you will want to add 4 to both sides.

\[6=4x\]

Divide both sides by 4(x).
\[x=3/2, x=1/2\]

C will be your final and best answer as shown above.
