Which of these systems of equations have a solution of (-12, 10)? Select all that apply.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which systems of equations have a specific solution of (-12, 10). The task involves checking each system of equations provided to see if substituting x = -12 and y = 10 satisfies all equations in each system.
Answer
The valid systems are 1, 2, and 3.
Answer for screen readers
The valid systems are:
- First system: (5x + 5y = -10) and (x - y = -22)
- Second system: (y = -x - 2) and (y = -5x - 50)
- Third system: (3x + 4y = -4) and (y = -4x - 36)
- Fourth system: (x = 12) and (x + y = -2) (not valid)
- Fifth system: (y = -3x - 26) and (y = 2x + 34) (not valid)
The valid systems are 1, 2, and 3 only.
Steps to Solve
-
Substituting in the first system
For the first system: [ \begin{align*} 5x + 5y &= -10 \ x - y &= -22 \end{align*} ] Substitute $x = -12$ and $y = 10$ into both equations: [ 5(-12) + 5(10) = -10 \quad \text{(Check if this is true)} ] [ -12 - 10 = -22 ] Both equations hold true.
-
Substituting in the second system
For the second system: [ \begin{align*} y &= -x - 2 \ y &= -5x - 50 \end{align*} ] Substitute $x = -12$ and $y = 10$: [ 10 = -(-12) - 2 \quad \text{and} \quad 10 = -5(-12) - 50 ] Check if both equations are valid.
-
Substituting in the third system
For the third system: [ \begin{align*} 3x + 4y &= -4 \ y &= -4x - 36 \end{align*} ] Substitute $x = -12$ and $y = 10$: [ 3(-12) + 4(10) = -4 \quad \text{and} \quad 10 = -4(-12) - 36 ] Check if both equations are valid.
-
Substituting in the fourth system
For the fourth system: [ \begin{align*} x &= 12 \ x + y &= -2 \end{align*} ] Substitute $x = -12$ and $y = 10$: [ -12 = 12 \quad \text{and} \quad -12 + 10 = -2 ] Check the validity of both equations.
-
Substituting in the fifth system
For the fifth system: [ \begin{align*} y &= -3x - 26 \ y &= 2x + 34 \end{align*} ] Substitute $x = -12$ and $y = 10$: [ 10 = -3(-12) - 26 \quad \text{and} \quad 10 = 2(-12) + 34 ] Check both equations for validity.
The valid systems are:
- First system: (5x + 5y = -10) and (x - y = -22)
- Second system: (y = -x - 2) and (y = -5x - 50)
- Third system: (3x + 4y = -4) and (y = -4x - 36)
- Fourth system: (x = 12) and (x + y = -2) (not valid)
- Fifth system: (y = -3x - 26) and (y = 2x + 34) (not valid)
The valid systems are 1, 2, and 3 only.
More Information
The solution (-12, 10) must satisfy all equations in the chosen systems, which means substituting these values should yield true statements.
Tips
- Mistaking solution values: Sometimes users might forget to substitute both values (x and y) correctly or reverse them.
- Basic arithmetic errors: Simple addition or subtraction mistakes often lead to incorrect conclusions about whether the solutions hold true.
