Solve the system of equations by substitution
$\{\begin{cases} 2 x + 5 y = 1 \\ y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2 \end{cases}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution for the system of equations is,

$x = 3 y = - 1$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

The system of equations is,

$\{\begin{cases} 2 x + 5 y = 1 \\ y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2 \end{cases}$

Step 2. Substituting the value of y in the equation.

Substitute $y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2$ in the equation

$2 x + 5 y = 1$

$2 x + 5 (\frac{1}{3} x - 2) = 1$

role="math" localid="1644341510028" $2 x + \frac{5}{3} x - 10 = 1$

$2 x + \frac{5 x}{3} = 1 + 10$

$\frac{6 x + 5 x}{3} = 11$

$\frac{11 x}{3} = 11$

$x = 11 梅 \frac{11}{3}$

$x = 11 脳 \frac{3}{11}$

$x = 3$

Step 3. Substituting the value of x in the equation

Substituting the value of $x = 3$ in the equation

$y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2$

$y = \frac{1}{3} (3) - 2$

$y = 1 - 2$

$y = - 1$

Step 4. Checking the solution for the equation 2x+5y=1

Substituting $x = 3 y = - 1$ in the equation

$2 x + 5 y = 1$

$2 (3) + 5 (- 1) = 1$

$6 + (- 5) = 1$

$6 - 5 = 1$

$1 = 1$

This is true.

Step 5. Checking the solution for the equation y=13x-2

Substituting $x = 3 y = - 1$ in the equation

$y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2$

$- 1 = \frac{1}{3} (3) - 2$

$- 1 = 1 - 2$

$- 1 = - 1$

This is true.
