Solve the system of equations 2, x, minus, 2, y, equals, minus, 42x−2y=−4 and minus, 4, x, minus, 3, y, equals, minus, 27−4x−3y=−27 by combining the equations.

Question

Solve the system of equations

Given the equations:

2x2y=4 2x - 2y = -4

and

4x3y=27 -4x - 3y = -27

Combine the equations to solve the system.

Solution

Sure, let's solve the system of equations step by step.

The system of equations is:

  1. 2x - 2y = -4
  2. -4x - 3y = -27

First, let's simplify the first equation by dividing every term by 2:

x - y = -2

Now, we have:

  1. x - y = -2
  2. -4x - 3y = -27

Next, let's multiply the first equation by 4 to match the x term in the second equation:

4x - 4y = -8

Now, we have:

  1. 4x - 4y = -8
  2. -4x - 3y = -27

Now, let's add the two equations together:

4x - 4y + (-4x - 3y) = -8 - 27 -7y = -35

Divide by -7 to solve for y:

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into the first equation:

x - 5 = -2 x = 3

So, the solution to the system of equations is x = 3 and y = 5.
