Question

@phi y=5x+3 I was trying to find an equation where it would cross y=5x+3 thats why i was trying to find x

Answer 1

where y=5x+3 intersects what ?

Answer 2

that what i need to find i know that i can use the subsituton method to find x or y but which would be easier to solve for?

Answer 3

**I was trying to find an equation where it **

what is "it" ?

Answer 4

what is the other equation ?

Answer 5

These are the steps

You find what Y or X equals in the equation first. Next you substitute the value of Y or X, whichever one you solved in the first step. Once you find the numerical value of Y or X, you plug the value back into one of your original equation and solve for the missing value you do not have yet.

Answer 6

yes, but what equations are you solving ?

Answer 7

I had to create my own y=5x+3 <----- isnt this a linear equation

Answer 8

nvm i got it thanks!

Answer 9

yes, y=5x+3 is a linear equation.

Answer 10

that equation has two unknowns, x and y
to "solve" for 2 unknowns you need two equations
what is the other equation ?
