Solve both for Y first,
then put them up against another and solve for x,
then plot that x value into one of the previous and find Y :)
OpenStudy (gschibby):
Than you have your two points x and y ;)

Okay, hold on...
OpenStudy (gschibby):
By rearranging your two equations you get
\[x+y=7 \rightarrow y=7-x\]
and
\[3x+4y=24 \rightarrow y=\frac{ 24-3x }{ 4 }\]
OpenStudy (gschibby):
Put those two up against eachother and you get:
\[7-x=\frac{ 24-3x }{ 4 }\]
solve that for x and you get:
\[x=4\]
Put that in for example the first equation and you get:
\[y=7-x=7-4=3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so this one is x or y
OpenStudy (gschibby):
Then your x value will be 4, and your y value will be 3
Hence, your point of interception wil be (4,3) :)
Got it? :)
