Question

find the solution to this system of equations. y = 58x + 18, y = -12x – 1

Answer 1

The two equation are
y = 58x + 18
y = -12x - 1

to find the solution to the equations:

set the righthand sides of the equations as equal

58x +18 = -12x -1

solve this equation for x


With the value of x that you find,
plug into the first (or second equation) to solve for y


the solution with be the point (x, y)
