x + y = 4 y = 2x + 1 (1, 3) Check Answer http://www.coursesavior.com/free/linear-equation-solver/ Explanation Replace all occurrences of y “in x + y = 4” with 2x + 1 x + 2x + 1 = 4 simplify = 3x + 1 = 4 solve 3x + 1 = 4 for x subtract 1 from both sides. 3x = 3 divide both sides by 3. x = 1 solve y = 2x + 1 for y we know x = 1, so we plug it in y = 2(1) + 1 and simplify, y = 2(1) + 1 = 2 + 1 y = 3 Solve the system by
substitution.
y = 2x - 8 4x + 3y = 1 ![]() http://www.coursesavior.com/free/linear-equation-solver/ Explanation Replace all occurrences of y in 4x+3y=1 with 2x−8. 4x + 3 (2x−8) = 1 y=2x−8 Simplify the left side.10x – 24 = 1 Y = 2x − 8 Solve for x in 10x−24=1. x = ![]() y = 2x − 8 Replace all occurrences of x in y = 2x − 8 with ![]() y = 2 ( ![]() Simplify 2 ( ![]() y = − 3 Solve the system by

Simplify 3x − 4((x − 5) −2) −x + 28 =28−x y = x−5 Solve for x in −x + 28 = 28 − x. Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation. Add x to both sides of the equation. −x + 28 + x = 28 y = x−5 Combine the opposite terms in −x+28+x. Add −x and x. 0 + 28 = 28 y = x – 5 3x+2y=3 4x-3y =-13 (-1, 3) Check Answer http://www.coursesavior.com/free/linear-equation-solver/ Explanation Solve for x in 3 x + 2y = 3.

(2) ⋅ (3x − y) = (2) (5) −6x + 2y = 1 6x − 2y = 10 −6x + 2y = 1 Add the two equations together to eliminate y from the system. 6x − 2y = 10 + −6x + 2y = 1 0 = 11 Since 0 ≠ 11, there are no solutions. Determine if the system is
independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
y = 3x - 5 y = 3x + 2 Inconsistent Check Answer http://www.coursesavior.com/free/linear-equation-solver/ Explanation Eliminate the equal sides of each equation and combine. 3x – 5 = 3x + 2 Solve 3x – 5 = 3x + 2 for x. Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation. Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation. 3x − 5−3x = 2 Combine the opposite terms in 3x − 5 − 3x −5 = 2 Since −5 ≠ 2, there are no solutions.

(3,1,1) Use the method of your choice to solve the system. One night the manager of the Sea Breeze Motel rented 5 singles and 12 doubles for a total of $1583. The next night He rented 9 singles and 10 doubles for a total of $1701. What is the rental charge for each type of room? Single - $79 Double - $99 ![]() Use the method of your choice to solve the system. Jill, Karen, and Betsy studied a total of 93 hours last week. Jill's and Karen's study time totaled only one-half as much as Betsy's. If Jill studied 3 hours more than Karen, then how many hours did each one of the girls spend studying? Karen - 14 hrs. Jill - 17 hrs. Betsy - 62 hrs. Let x represent Karen's study time. then Jills would be (x + 3) and Betsy's would be 2[x + (x + 3)] Question states x + (x + 3) + 2[x + (x + 3)] = 93 solving for x x + (x + 3) + 2x + 2x +6 = 93 6x + 9 = 93 6x = 84 84 / 6 = 14 Karen's study time x = 14 hrs.
