Question
Solve:
by using substitution method.
Hint:
find x by substituting y (in terms of x) in the equation and find y by substituting value of x in the equations .
The correct answer is: x = 2 ; y = -3
Ans :- x = 2 ; y = -3
Explanation :-
— eq 1
—eq 2
Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = 1-2x in eq 2.



Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y



and y = -3 is the solution of the given pair of equations.

Which of the following could be the x-coordinate of a solution to the system of equations above?
Note:
If we had to find the y-coordinate of the system of equations, then we put this value of x in the equation to get the value of y. Here, we got a quadratic equation of x, which did not have any term containing x, so it was easier to solve. If the quadratic equation was of the form
, then we would use the quadratic formula
to solve the equation.

The graph of the function f is shown in the xy-plane above, where y =f
. Which of the following functions could define f ?
Note:
We need to know properties about factors, multiplicity, leading co-efficients and turning points to find out the function from a graph.

In 1962, the population of a bird species was 2,000. The population k years after 1962 were 48, and k satisfies the equation above. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the number 61 in this
context?
Note:
This question could also be solved by eliminating the options. Option A is wrong as the population k years after 1962 is 48, not 61. Option B is wrong because we find the value of k to be 32. Option C is wrong because the difference between the population in 1962 and the population k years after 1962 is given by 2000-48=1952.
