Q. 4y2+9=6x+34y=2x+1If (x,y) is the solution to the system of equations shown, what is the value of y ?How do I enter a student-produced response on the SAT? [show me!] S
Solve for y: First, let's solve the second equation for y.4y=2x+1To find y, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.y=42x+1
Substitute into first equation: Now, let's substitute the expression for y into the first equation.The first equation is 4y2+9=6x+3.Substituting y with (2x+1)/4, we get:4[(2x+1)/4]2+9=6x+3
Simplify equation: Next, we simplify the equation by squaring the term (2x+1)/4 and multiplying by 4.(42x+1)2=16(2x+1)24⋅16(2x+1)2+9=6x+34(2x+1)2+9=6x+3
Correct previous mistake: Now, we simplify the left side of the equation by multiplying out the square and dividing by 4.(2x+1)2=4x2+4x+1(4x2+4x+1)/4+9=6x+3x2+x+1/4+9=6x+3
Correct previous mistake: Now, we simplify the left side of the equation by multiplying out the square and dividing by 4.(2x+1)2=4x2+4x+1(4x2+4x+1)/4+9=6x+3x2+x+1/4+9=6x+3We made a mistake in the previous step by incorrectly simplifying the square of (2x+1). Let's correct this error.(2x+1)2=4x2+4x+1(4x2+4x+1)/4+9=6x+3x2+x+1/4+36/4=6x+3x2+x+37/4=6x+3
