Algebra.Com's Answer #461245 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Adjust the equations \n" ); document.write( "x - 3y = 7 \n" ); document.write( "x - 3y - 7 =0 \n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = 2 \n" ); document.write( "x + 2y - 2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Make the equations equal one another. \n" ); document.write( "x - 3y - 7 = x + 2y -2 \n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms \n" ); document.write( "Change signs as you \n" ); document.write( "cross = sign. \n" ); document.write( "x - x - 3y - 2y - 7 + 2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( " -5y - 5 = 0 \n" ); document.write( " - 5y = 5 \n" ); document.write( " y = -1 \n" ); document.write( "This is the value of y at the point \n" ); document.write( "of intersection. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
