Question

Solve the system of linear equations below.

y = -2x + 19
y = x + 7
HELP ME PLEASE

Answer 1

let y = y
then x + 7 = -2x + 19
solve for x
substitute this value of x in either of the original to find y

Answer 2

remember to check your answer x = 4 and y = 11

Answer 3

-2x+19=x+7
19=x-(-2x)+7
19=x+2x+7
19=3x+7
3x=19-7
3x=12
x=12/3
x=4
Answer: 4

Answer 4

good. now that you have x you need to find y

Answer 5

solve the system means find both the x value and the y value that satisfies both equations

Answer 6

Sorry, I forgot to solve for y. This is simple, just plug in x into any equation you want to solve for y.

y=x+7
y=4+7=11
y=11

Answer: (4, 11)

Answer 7

@Idealist10 I did not even check that you were not the one that posted. @kyshawn 123 I posted what to do and @Idealist10 did it for you.
