Chapter 5: Problem 70

Explain how to solve a system of equations using the substitution method. Use \(y=3-3 x\) and \(3 x+4 y=6\) to illustrate your explanation.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the system of equations is \(x = 2/3\) and \(y = 1\).

Step by step solution

01

Substitute y in the second equation

Since we have \(y = 3 - 3x\), we can substitute y into the second equation \(3x + 4y = 6\). It becomes \(3x + 4(3 - 3x) = 6\).
02

Simplify the equation

Distributing the 4 through the parentheses \(3x + 12 - 12x = 6\), simplify the equation into \(-9x + 12 = 6\).
03

Solve for x

Subtract 12 from both sides, which gives us \(-9x = -6\). Then, divide by -9 to solve for x. We find that \(x = 2/3\).
04

Substitute x in the first equation

Substitute \(x = 2/3\) into the first equation \(y = 3 - 3x\). This becomes \(y = 3 - 3(2/3) = 1\).
05

Solution of the system of equations

From the previous steps, the solution of the system of equations is the ordered pair \((2/3, 1)\). This means x equals to 2/3 and y equals to 1.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A patient is not allowed to have more than 330 milligrams of cholesterol per day from a diet of eggs and meat. Each egg provides 165 milligrams of cholesterol. Each ounce of meat provides 110 milligrams. a. Write an inequality that describes the patient's dietary restrictions for \(x\) eggs and \(y\) ounces of meat. b. Graph the inequality. Because \(x\) and \(y\) must be positive, limit the graph to quadrant I only. c. Select an ordered pair satisfying the inequality. What are its coordinates and what do they represent in this situation?

In Exercises \(31-42,\) solve by the method of your choice. Identify systems with no solution and systems with infinitely many solutions, using set notation to express their solution sets. \(y=3 x-5\) \(21 x-35=7 y\)

In Exercises \(19-30,\) solve each system by the addition method. \(x+y=6\) \(x-y=-2\)

Graphing utilities can be used to shade regions in the rectangular coordinate system, thereby graphing an inequality in two variables. Read the section of the user's manual for your graphing utility that describes how to shade a region. Then use your graphing utility to graph the inequalities. $$ 2 x+y \leq 6 $$

In Exercises \(43-46,\) let \(x\) represent one number and let \(y\) represent the other number. Use the given conditions to write a system of equations. Solve the system and find the numbers. The sum of three times a first number and twice a second number is \(8 .\) If the second number is subtracted from twice the first number, the result is \(3 .\) Find the numbers.
