A system of linear equations is given by the tables.

[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
$x$ & $y$ \\
\hline
-1 & 1 \\
\hline
0 & 3 \\
\hline
1 & 5 \\
\hline
2 & 7 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
$x$ & $y$ \\
\hline
-2 & -7 \\
\hline
0 & -1 \\
\hline
2 & 5 \\
\hline
4 & 11 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]

The first equation of this system is [tex]$y=$[/tex] [tex]$\square x + 3$[/tex]

The second equation of this system is [tex]$y = 3x -$[/tex] [tex]$\square$[/tex]

The solution of the system is ([tex]$\square$[/tex], [tex]$\square$[/tex]).



Answer :

Let's identify the equations for each table and then find the solution to the system of equations.

1. For the first table of values:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \\ \hline -1 & 1 \\ \hline 0 & 3 \\ \hline 1 & 5 \\ \hline 2 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]
We observe that when [tex]\( x = -1 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 1 \)[/tex]; when [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 3 \)[/tex]; when [tex]\( x = 1 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 5 \)[/tex]; and when [tex]\( x = 2 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 7 \)[/tex]. The pattern in the y-values indicates the equation follows [tex]\( y = 2x + 3 \)[/tex].

2. For the second table of values:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \\ \hline -2 & -7 \\ \hline 0 & -1 \\ \hline 2 & 5 \\ \hline 4 & 11 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]
We observe that when [tex]\( x = -2 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = -7 \)[/tex]; when [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = -1 \)[/tex]; when [tex]\( x = 2 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 5 \)[/tex]; and when [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 11 \)[/tex]. The pattern in the y-values indicates the equation follows [tex]\( y = 3x - 1 \)[/tex].

3. Now, we solve the system of equations:
[tex]\[ y = 2x + 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y = 3x - 1 \][/tex]

Setting the two equations equal to each other to find the intersection point (solution):
[tex]\[ 2x + 3 = 3x - 1 \][/tex]

Subtract [tex]\( 2x \)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[ 3 = x - 1 \][/tex]

Add 1 to both sides to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 4 \][/tex]

Substitute [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex] back into either equation to find [tex]\( y \)[/tex]. Using the first equation:
[tex]\[ y = 2(4) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11 \][/tex]

The solution of the system is [tex]\((4, 11)\)[/tex].

So, filling in the blanks:

The first equation of this system is [tex]\( y = 2x + 3 \)[/tex].

The second equation of this system is [tex]\( y = 3x - 1 \)[/tex].

The solution of the system is [tex]\( (4, 11) \)[/tex].
