What is the solution to the system of equations y = -3x - 2 and 5x + 2y = 15?
(-40, 19), (-19, 55), (19, -40), (55, -19)
Solution:
Given:
Equations are
y = -3x - 2 --- (1)
5x + 2y = 15 --- (2)
Here we are using substitution method to proceed with the given problem.
Substituting (1) in (2)
5x + 2(-3x - 2) = 15
5x - 6x - 4 = 15
By further calculation
-x = 15 + 4
x = -19
Substituting x value in (1)
y = - 3(-19) - 2
By further calculation
y = 57 - 2
y = 55
Therefore, the solution is (-19, 55).
What is the solution to the system of equations y = -3x - 2 and 5x + 2y = 15?
Summary:
The solution to the system of equations y = -3x - 2 and 5x + 2y = 15 is (-19, 55).
