Answer for screen readers
The systems of equations that have a solution of $(2, 3)$ are:
- $2x - 4y = -8$
- $8x - 5y = 1$
- $x + y = 5$
- $4x + y = 11$
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the system of equations to test We need to check each of the equations listed to see if they hold true when $x = 2$ and $y = 3$.
-
Substitute values into the first system For the first system: $$2x - 4y = -8$$ Substitute $x = 2$ and $y = 3$: $$2(2) - 4(3) = -8$$ Calculate: $$4 - 12 = -8$$ This is true.
-
Substitute values into the second system For the second system: $$y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{4}{3}$$ Substitute $x = 2$: $$y = \frac{2}{3}(2) + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$$ Since $y$ should equal 3, this is false.
-
Substitute values into the third system For the third system: $$\frac{3}{5}x + \frac{4}{3}y = 7$$ Substitute $x = 2$ and $y = 3$: $$\frac{3}{5}(2) + \frac{4}{3}(3) = \frac{6}{5} + 4 = \frac{6}{5} + \frac{20}{5} = \frac{26}{5}$$ Since $7$ is equivalent to $\frac{35}{5}$, this is false.
-
Substitute values into the fourth system For the fourth system: $$8x - 5y = 1$$ Substitute $x = 2$ and $y = 3$: $$8(2) - 5(3) = 16 - 15 = 1$$ This is true.
-
Continue testing remaining systems Repeat the substitution process for the last two systems:
- For: $$x + y = 5$$ → $2 + 3 = 5$ (true).
- For: $$4x + y = 11$$ → $4(2) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11$ (true).
-
List all systems that are true The systems that have a solution of $(2, 3)$ are:
- $2x - 4y = -8$
- $8x - 5y = 1$
- $x + y = 5$
- $4x + y = 11$
The systems of equations that have a solution of $(2, 3)$ are:
- $2x - 4y = -8$
- $8x - 5y = 1$
- $x + y = 5$
- $4x + y = 11$
More Information
In systems of equations, when testing whether a point is a solution, you substitute the coordinates of the point into each equation. If both sides of the equation are equal after substitution, the point is a solution.
Tips
- Forgetting to substitute both $x$ and $y$ when testing each equation may lead to incorrect conclusions.
- Miscalculating the arithmetic operations after substitution can result in an incorrect assessment of whether the equation holds true.
