Question

y = -2x + 14
y = 2x + 2

how would i do this?

Answer 1

This is a process called elimination. How this works is you add the two equations together to isolate either x or y

Answer 2

So that you would have only one unknown variable

Answer 3

2y=16 after adding the two equations together.

Answer 4

which you get y=8.
Then you substitute the value of y into either of the equations to get the x.

Answer 5

8=2x+2
2x=6
x=3

Answer 6

I hope this helps...
