Solution to the System of Equations
We are given the two equations:
- y = 3x + 10
- 2x + y = 4
To find the solution, we will use the substitution method:
Step 1: Substitute y in the second equation
We can substitute the expression of y from the first equation into the second equation:
2x + (3x + 10) = 4
This simplifies to:
2x + 3x + 10 = 4
Combine like terms:
5x + 10 = 4
Step 2: Solve for x
Next, we isolate x:
5x = 4 - 10
5x = -6
x = -\frac{6}{5}
Step 3: Substitute x back to find y
Now that we have the value of x, we substitute it back into the first equation to find y:
y = 3(-\frac{6}{5}) + 10
Calculating this gives:
y = -\frac{18}{5} + 10
y = -\frac{18}{5} + \frac{50}{5}
y = \frac{32}{5}
Final Solution
The solution to the system of equations is:
(x, y) = \left(-\frac{6}{5}, \frac{32}{5}\right)
