Solve y=2x-1 2x+y=3?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Let Equation (1) be y=2x-1 and Equation (2) be 2x+y =3.
Substitue Equation (1) into Equation (2) (Plug in equation 1 for y) giving you 2x+(2x-1)=3. Solving this new equation of 4x-1=3 gives us x=1. Plugging in x=1 to any of the equations will give you y=1.

Answers: X=1, Y=1.

ok when you have y=2x-1 and 2x+y=3, to solve for both variables, you must combine the two equations so that you have one equation with only one variable. Then when you find that variable, you will plug it into either of the equations to solve for the other. You are being give that y is equal to 2x-1, so we will put that into the second equation.

2x+(2x-1)=3 now you want to combine like terms, so you get 4x-1=3, now add 1 to both sides and you get 4x=4. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x,

x=1

now plug x=1 into any of the two equations

y=2(1)-1, so now you get y=2-1, and solve

y=1
