Algebra.Com's Answer #184867 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations. \n" ); document.write( "It is where the two equations cross and have the same x and y \n" ); document.write( "You solve the equations by elimination or substitution. \n" ); document.write( "In this case it is begging for substitution because one of the equations is already solved for y in terms of x \n" ); document.write( "y=3x+1 \n" ); document.write( "so substitute 3x+1 in the other equation for y and solve that equation for y \n" ); document.write( "x+3y=6 \n" ); document.write( "x+3*(3x+1)=6 \n" ); document.write( "x+9x+3=6 \n" ); document.write( "10x=3 \n" ); document.write( "x=3/10 \n" ); document.write( "y=3x+1 \n" ); document.write( "y=3(3/10)+1 \n" ); document.write( "y=9/10+1 \n" ); document.write( "y=1.9 \n" ); document.write( "x=.3=3/10 \n" ); document.write( "check \n" ); document.write( "x+3y=6 \n" ); document.write( ".3+3*1.9=6 \n" ); document.write( ".3+5.7=6 \n" ); document.write( "6=6 \n" ); document.write( "ok \n" ); document.write( "y=3x+1 \n" ); document.write( "1.9=3*.3+1 \n" ); document.write( "1.9=.9+1 \n" ); document.write( "1.9=1.9 \n" ); document.write( "ok \n" ); document.write( "
