Find an equilibrium solution of the following system: x\' = 3x + 2y - 4 y\' = x + 2y - 7 Solution The system is in equilibrium if x \' = y \' = 0. So it reduces to 3x + 2y = 4 ---------1 x + 2y = 7. --------2 from 1 2y = 4-3x----------3 3 in 2 x+4-3x =7 -2x = 7-4 x = -3/2 Plug this into either equation to get y. 2y = 4-3x 2y = 4 - 3(-3/2) 2y = -1/2 y = -1/4 y = -1/4 ,x = -3/2 .
