Question 212431: Find the ordered pair that is a solution to the graphs
y=2x+3
y=x-2
Found 2 solutions by checkley77, drj:Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=2x+3 (red line)
y=x-2 (green line) (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions 2x +3 and x -2).
Solution (-5,-7). Answer by drj(1380) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the ordered pair that is a solution to the graphs
y=2x+3
y=x-2
The following solve the system of linear equations by substitution:
Solve: We'll use substitution. After moving 1*y to the right, we get: , or . Substitute that
into another equation: and simplify: So, we know that y=-7. Since , x=-5.
Answer: .
I hope the above steps were helpful. Good luck in your studies!
