Question

Help for Metal Please

Consider the following pair of equations:

−x − y = −5
y = x + 1

If the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines representing the two equations intersect?

(−2, 3)
(3, −2)
(2, 3)
(3, 2)

Answer 1

I don't want metal.

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

There are two equations in this question
we call
-x -y =-5
x+y=5 ...........eq#1 since,- signs are cancelled from each side
y=x+1............eq#2
now put the value of y of eq#2 into eq#1 at the place y
it would be
x +x+1 =5
2x = 5-1
2x=4
x=2
now put x=2 in eq#2 you will get the value of y
y= 2+1
y=3
so answer will be (x,y)=(2,3)

Answer 4

If you have any question, ask me

Answer 5

Answer 6

Well I am not the best at prealgebra so I need help with this

Answer 7

-y-x =-5 (1)
multiply by minus to get: -(-y) = -(x-5)
which becomes y + x= 5
so you have -y = x -5 (1)
and y=x +1 (2)
Now to things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other so:
x-5 =x+1
can you solve that?

Answer 8

ok I understand it so far but I dont understand what else to do

Answer 9

bring x's to one side and integers to the other side

Answer 10

o

Answer 11

Is that o good! or o bad?

Answer 12

Good

Answer 13

hey do you want to know a faster trick to complete this...like...just plug in your answer option into the equation...
-x-y= -5 ......-(2)-3=?
y=x+1 .... y=(2)+3...

Answer 14

Ok I will try it

Answer 15

Thank You for yalls help

Answer 16

yes and here is an even faster way:
-y-x = -5
y=x+1
------------
-y-x = -5
y-x = 1
---------
Add them and the y's cancel, leaving -2x = -4 =>x=2
