Question

y = 3x − 5
y = 6x − 8
Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution or elimination. Show all the steps and write the solution

Answer 1

i would equate the two equation

Answer 2

3x-5=6x-8

Answer 3

3x-6x=5-8

Answer 4

-3x=-3
x=1

Answer 5

then sub x=1 into the first eq. to find y
y=3x-5
y=3(1)-5
y=3-5
y=?

-2

Answer 9

@LynFran

Answer 10

good so x=1 and y=-2 are the solution ok

Answer 11

ok thank you about If the two equations are graphed, at what point will the lines representing the two equations intersect?

Answer 12

@LynFran

Answer 13

they would intersect at the solution u just found
