Solve the following system of equations. You will type your x value in the first part and the y value in the second part of the question. If the answer is no solution then type NS in both parts and if the the answer is infinite solutions then type I in both parts.
y = 3x + 4
y = -0.35x - 10
What is the x value?
what is the y value?
subtract equation 2 from 1, you get
(3+.35)x+14=0
solve for x, then, put that x value into either equation, solve for y.
To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution. Here's how you can find the x and y values:
Step 1: Begin by equating the two equations:
3x + 4 = -0.35x - 10
Step 2: Simplify the equation by combining like terms:
3x + 0.35x = -10 - 4
3.35x = -14
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 3.35 to solve for x:
x = -14 / 3.35
Now, calculate the value of x using a calculator or by dividing -14 by 3.35. The value of x is approximately -4.1791.
Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into either of the original equations to solve for y. Let's use the first equation:
y = 3(-4.1791) + 4
Simplifying further:
y = -12.5373 + 4
y = -8.5373
Hence, the x value is approximately -4.1791 and the y value is approximately -8.5373.
