Solve the system. Estimate the solution first. Enter whole numbers for the estimated solution and improper fractions in simplest form for the algebraic solution.

braceleftze 3x + y = 3
5x − y = 15


The estimated solution is (, ).


The algebraic solution is

Respuesta :

The estimated solution is (x, y) = (2, -4)

The algebraic solution is (x, y) = [tex](\frac{9}{4} , \frac{-15}{4})[/tex]

Solution:

Given system of equations are:

3x + y = 3 ---- eqn 1

5x - y = 15 ------- eqn 2

Let us solve the above system of equations

Add eqn 1 and eqn 2

3x + y + 5x - y = 3 + 15

8x + 0 = 18

8x = 18

[tex]x = \frac{18}{8} = \frac{9}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Substitute the value of "x" in eqn 1

[tex]3(\frac{9}{4}) + y = 3\\\\\frac{27}{4} + y = 3\\\\y = 3 - \frac{27}{4}\\\\y = \frac{12-27}{4}\\\\y = \frac{-15}{4}[/tex]

The estimated solution is given as:

Enter whole numbers for the estimated solution

[tex]x = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25\\\\x \approx 2[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-15}{4} = -3.75\\\\y \approx -4[/tex]

Thus estimated solution is (x, y) = (2, -4)

The algebraic solution is given as:

Enter improper fractions in simplest form for the algebraic solution

In an improper fraction, the numerator is always greater than or equal to the denominator

[tex]x = \frac{9}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-15}{4}[/tex]

Thus the solution is (x, y) = [tex](\frac{9}{4} , \frac{-15}{4})[/tex]
