Question and answer
x + y = 4 x - 2y = -5 If the first equation is multiplied by 2 and then the equations are added, the result is _____. 3x = 13 3x = 3 x = 3
x + y = 4 multiple 2 on both sides: 2x + 2y = 8 equation 1; x - 2y = -5 equation 2; Adding up equation 1 and equation 2, 3x = 3 x + y = 4, x - 2y = -5 If the first equation is multiplied by 2 and then the equations are added, the result is 3x = 3.

x + y = 4 multiple 2 on both sides:
2x + 2y = 8 equation 1;
x - 2y = -5 equation 2;
Adding up equation 1 and equation 2,
3x = 3
x + y = 4, x - 2y = -5 If the first equation is multiplied by 2 and then the equations are added, the result is 3x = 3.

For the following system, use the second equation to make a substitution for y in the first equation. 3x + y = 2 y + 4 = 3x 3x + 3x - 4 = 2 3x + 3 - 4x = 2 3x + 3x + 4 = 2
