Example 3

graphical method · word problem

The number of skirts Champa bought is two less than twice the pants, and four less than four times the pants. Find both numbers.

Example 3The lines intersect at (1, 0).y = 2x − 2y = 4x − 4(1, 0)
The lines intersect at (1, 0).

Solution

Let x be pants and y be skirts.

y=2x−2,y=4x−4y=2x-2,\qquad y=4x-4

Plot (0, −2), (2, 2) and (0, −4), (1, 0).

The intersection (1, 0) satisfies both statements.

Final answer

Champa bought 1 pant and no skirt.
