Week15-Math10

This week in math 10 we learned about intro to systems solving using graphing

for this we would use the y=m+b equation, we will also have two of these,

for example

x- 4= y and y=3x-8

for this you want to start with what is easier, in this case it would be x-4=y, so what we would need to do is isolate x because it is already positive

so we add four on both side, the -4 and +4 cancel each other out so it is no longer there

x= y+4

 

now we have solved for x we have to solve for y, now we insert the x into wherever there is x in the other equation,

y=3(y+4)-8

from there we solve using BEDMAS

y=3y+12-8

from here we add like terms

-2y=4

now we divide everything by -2 to isolate the y which leaves us with

y=-2

from here we would put in y wherever y is to complete solving x

x- 4= -2

we need to isolate x so we add 4 on each side which leaves us with

x=-2+4

add like terms

x=2

now to verify we insert x and y into the original equations to see if we were correct

2-4=-2

the first one is true

-2=3(2)-8

-2=6-8

-2=-2

it is true for the second equation
