HELP PLEASE
x + y = k
2x + 3y = k + 1
The lines intersect at
3x + 2y = A
5x + y = B
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f

Solve the equations for the solutions, x and y.
x + y = k
2x + 3y = k + 1
The lines intersect at (?,?)
-----------------------------------
Multiply thru the 1st equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 2k
2x + 3y = k+1
---------------
Subtract the 1st from the 2nd, then solve for "y":
y = 1-k
-------
Substitute into x+y = k to solve for "x":
x + 1-k = k
x = 2k+1
----------------------
Point of intersection: (2k+1 , 1-k)

I tried that, it's wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
BTW these are three different problems.
OpenStudy (mertsj):
x= 2k-1

1. Multiply the second equation by -2
2. Add the result to the first equation
3. Solve for x
