Question

Solve the following system of linear equations giving the solution
as a coordinate pair in the form (x,y):
y = 6x - 5
y = -2x + 5 I would like to learn how to solve this? Please

Answer 1

What formula, or what process do you have to do to solve this?

Answer 2

And thank you welshfella

Answer 3

you can do it in the same way as the previous question
the expressions on the right of the = are both equal to y
therefore we can say that these expressions are equal to each other so

6x - 5= -2x + 5

solve for x , then to find the value of y plug the value of x into any one of the original equations.

Answer 4

So does that mean that x is 1?

Answer 5

NO

that simplifies to
8x = 10

now divide both sides by 8 to get x

Answer 6

use ur calculator to get 10/8

Answer 7

thats ur value of x.
