Algebra.Com's Answer #362205 by kkasko(46)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1: Isolate for variable y \n" ); document.write( "x+y=11 \n" ); document.write( "-x. -x \n" ); document.write( "y=-x+11 \n" ); document.write( "x-y=7 \n" ); document.write( "-x. -x \n" ); document.write( "-y=-x+7 \n" ); document.write( "Cannot have a -1 so divide by -1 \n" ); document.write( "y=-x/-1+7/-1 \n" ); document.write( "y=x-7 \n" ); document.write( "Step 2: draw a x and y axis \n" ); document.write( "Plot the first equation at (0,11) and go down 1 right one till you have gone as far right as possible. Then from (0,11) go up 1 left 1 and go as far left as possible. \n" ); document.write( "Plot the second equation at (0,-7) go up 1 right one until you have gone as far right as possible. Then from the point (0,-7) go down one left one until you have gone as far left as possible. \n" ); document.write( "Step 3: the points should now connect at (9,2) \n" ); document.write( " |
