Can someone solve the attached problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, well it says solve it by graphing.. so first thing you want to do is be able to graph both lines. Start by putting them into y=mx+b making your first line y=-x+11 and your second will be y=x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go ahead and graph those lines and I do believe you will come up with (3,8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not know how to graph. I was thrown into a math course that was too advanced for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, no problem.. one sec and I will show you..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

Go ahead and join me here and I'll walk you through it ....... http://www.twiddla.com/584316

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still cant figure out where to put the points since my graph only goes to 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the graph consistent or inconsistent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well this is a drag. how to you graph in this stupid system?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is easy enough though. add the two equations together to get \[2x+6\] \[x=3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then substitute 2 in the first one to get \[3+y=11\] \[y=8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your solution is \[x=3,y=8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is "consistent" i guess.
