[SOLVED] Confirm my answer too please!
I just wanted to make sure that I had done my math correctly on this question:
Solve by graphing(I can't show the graphs, but the problem and my working is as follows)
Question
3x+2y=8
6x+4y=16
Working
3x+2y=8
6x+4y=16
I put 3x+2y=8 into terms of y so it became 2y=8-3x.
Then I divided that equation by 2 so it became:y=4-3/2x
I replaced x with values from 0-2 and worked the problems out, resulting in this: x=0 y=4
x=1 y=5/2 or 2 1/2
x=2 y=1
I repeated the process with the second string and came out with this:
x=0 y=4
x=1 y=5/2 or 2 1/2
x=2 y=1
since the solutions were identical I decided that the lines coincide.
