Algebra Difficulty 1.3 Junior Find the answer Canada

If $y=1$ and $4x-2y+3=3x+3y$ , what is the value of $x$ ?

Pick one

Solution

Substituting $y=1$ into the second equation, we obtain $4x-2(1)+3=3x+3(1)$ .

Simplifying, we obtain $4x-2+3=3x+3$ or $4x+1=3x+3$ .

Therefore, $4x-3x=3-1$ or $x=2$ .
