Two linear equations are shown. A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals StartFraction one-third EndFraction x plus 2 and passes through (negative 6, 0) and (0, 2). The second line is labeled y equals StartFraction 4 over 3 EndFraction minus 5. What is the solution to the system of equations? (7, 4) (7, StartFraction 13 over 3 EndFraction) (8, StartFraction 14 over 3 EndFraction) (9, 7)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex](7,\frac{13}{3})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The equation of the first line

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+2[/tex] ------> equation A

The equation of the second line

[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-5[/tex] ------> equation B

Solve the system of equations by elimination

Multiply equation A by -4 both sides

[tex](-4)y=(-4)(\frac{1}{3}x+2)[/tex]

[tex]-4y=-\frac{4}{3}x-8[/tex] --------> equation C

Adds equation B and equation C

[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-5\\-4y=-\frac{4}{3}x-8\\--------\\y-4y=-5-8\\-3y=-13\\y=\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y

[tex]\frac{13}{3}=\frac{1}{3}x+2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{13}{3}-2[/tex]

Multiply by 3 both sides

[tex]x=13-6[/tex]

[tex]x=7[/tex]

therefore

The solution to the system of equations is the point [tex](7,\frac{13}{3})[/tex]
