1. Solve the system \(y = 3x - 5\) and \(5x + 4y = -3\). Substitute \(y\) from the first equation into the second: $$5x + 4(3x - 5) = -3$$ $$5x + 12x - 20 = -3$$ $$17x - 20 = -3$$ $$17x = 17$$ $$x = 1$$ Find \(y\): $$y = 3(1) - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2$$ Solution: \((x,y) = (1, -2)\). 2. Solve the system \(x = 2y - 1\) and \(7x + 2y = 25\). Substitute \(x\) into the second equation: $$7(2y - 1) + 2y = 25$$ $$14y - 7 + 2y = 25$$ $$16y - 7 = 25$$ $$16y = 32$$ $$y = 2$$ Find \(x\): $$x = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3$$ Solution: \((x,y) = (3, 2)\). 3. Solve the system \(2x + y = 5\) and \(x - 2y = 5\). Multiply the second equation by 2 to align \(y\) terms: $$2(x - 2y) = 2(5)$$ $$2x - 4y = 10$$ Subtract the first equation from this: $$(2x - 4y) - (2x + y) = 10 - 5$$ $$2x - 4y - 2x - y = 5$$ $$-5y = 5$$ $$y = -1$$ Find \(x\): $$2x + (-1) = 5$$ $$2x = 6$$ $$x = 3$$ Solution: \((x,y) = (3, -1)\). 4. Solve the system \(2x - 3y = 11\) and \(x - y = 4\). Multiply the second equation by 3: $$3(x - y) = 3(4)$$ $$3x - 3y = 12$$ Subtract the first equation from this: $$(3x - 3y) - (2x - 3y) = 12 - 11$$ $$3x - 3y - 2x + 3y = 1$$ $$x = 1$$ Find \(y\): $$1 - y = 4$$ $$-y = 3$$ $$y = -3$$ Solution: \((x,y) = (1, -3)\). Each system represents two lines; their solution is the intersection point. Desmos functions for each system: 1. \(y = 3x - 5\) and \(y = \frac{-5x - 3}{4}\) 2. \(y = \frac{x + 1}{2}\) and \(7x + 2y = 25\) 3. \(y = 5 - 2x\) and \(y = \frac{x - 5}{2}\) 4. \(y = x - 4\) and \(y = \frac{2x - 11}{3}\)
