Question

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the two equations?
y=-2x+7
y=1/3x

(__?_,__3_)

Answer 1

We know the value of y for both equations correct? so
Equation 1
y=-2x+7
Equation 2
y=1/3x

Using the substituion method we can solve for x and y
we know what y equals so lets plug equation 1 into equation 2
-2x+7=1/3
can you solve for x?

Answer 2

x=10/3?

Answer 3

good :)

Answer 4

Now plug the value of x into equation 1
y=-2(10/3)+7

Answer 5

1/3 :)

Answer 6

Good :)
so
(10/3,1/3)

Answer 7

but my answer only has 2 boxes?

Answer 8

type it in as a fraction

Answer 9

Wait these can be simplfied

Answer 10

y=1 and x=3

Answer 11
