Question

Help! Will give fan
A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 3x − 5
y = 6x − 8

Part A: Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution or elimination. Show all the steps and write the solution. (5 points)

Part B: If the two equations are graphed, at what point will the lines representing the two equations intersect? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Here's what I have:
Part A:
y=3x-5
y=6x-8
3x-5=6x-8
(subtract 5 by both sides)
3x=6x+3

Answer 1

hey there :)

Answer 2

hey thanks for trying to help its really important

Answer 3

why would u subtract 5 from both sides? Wouldn't it be add 5 to both?

Answer 4

I don't think so but ill try that rn

Answer 5

should go to 3x-3

Answer 6

for substitution we can just keep trying to put numbers into x and if both of the equations becomes the same answer than we have succeeded, for example , I tried 1 in the x spot, so x=1 and 3(1)-5 is -2, 6(1)-8 is -2 as well, so we have succeeded in the substitution method

Answer 7

I know the answer is (-2,1) I just need to figure out how to do the equation. (I don't like googling answers for every test)

Answer 8

okay now I have 3x=6x-13 Do I subtract six by both sides?

Answer 9

nope u subtract 6x from both

Answer 10

i have -3x=13 do i divide now?
