Sorry, I don't know :(

Hey guys would it be: Because the point they intersect would be the value of x?

i need help fast because this is my last question and im about to black out of exhaustion....

Oh I know how that feels! Sorry i cant help... I feel your pain :(

anonymous · Answer

Intersection means that the (x,y) coordinates are on both lines. The equation helps you to find that point by calculating that point. The left hand side is the y-value for the y=2-x line and the right hand side does the same for the other side. When you solve for x you will find the value for x that gives the same y for both functions.
