Solve the system of linear equations. 3x + y = 9 y − 2x = 4 A) (1, 6) B) (−1, 6) C) (1, −6) D) (−1, −6)

Hey there! :)

A) (1, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by setting both equations equal to each other. Begin by rearranging each equation to equal y:

3x + y = 9

y = -3x + 9

y - 2x = 4

y = 2x + 4

-3x + 9 = 2x + 4

Add 3x to both sides:

-3x + 3x + 9 = 2x + 3x + 4

9 = 5x + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides:

9 - 4 = 5x + 4 - 4

5 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5:

5/5 = 5x/5

x = 1. Substitute 1 into an equation to solve for y:

3(1) + y = 9

3 + y = 9

y = 9 - 3

y = 6.

Therefore, the coordinates of the solution are:

A) (1, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+y = 9

y-2x = 4

Subtracting both equations

=> 3x+y-(y-2x) = 9-4

=> 3x+y-y+2x = 5

=> 3x+2x = 5

=> 5x = 5

Dividing both sides by 5

=> x = 1

Now, Putting x = 1 in the first equation

=> 3(1)+y = 9

=> 3+y = 9

=> y = 9-3

=> y = 6

Ordered pair = (x,y) = (1,6)

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
