: I need to be able to find the intersection of the 2 lines given the following information.
Line 1: y = 1600 - 300x
Line 2: y = 1400 + 700x
I don't know how to get both y's and both x's to equal without using a graphing calculator and calculating the intersection. i would like to know how to figure this out step by step without a calculator This question is from textbook Principles of Microeconmics
