Q. y=31x+5y=2xConsider the given system of equations. If (x,y) is the solution to the system, then what is the value of y+x ? ◻
Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.We have the following system of equations:y=31x+5y=2x
Set Equal: Set the two equations equal to each other to find the value of x.Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other:31x+5=2x
Solve for x: Solve for x.To find x, we need to get all the x terms on one side and the constants on the other side. We can do this by subtracting (1/3)x from both sides:(1/3)x+5−(1/3)x=2x−(1/3)x5=(6/3)x−(1/3)x5=(5/3)xNow, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of (5/3) to solve for x:5∗(3/5)=x3=x
Substitute and Find y: Substitute the value of x into one of the original equations to find y. We can use either equation, but for simplicity, let's use y=2x: y=2(3)y=6
Find y+x: Add the values of x and y to find y+x.y+x=6+3y+x=9
