You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve the following pair of equations graphically.
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 3y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "1.25 x + 0.5y = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Put both equations in the slope intercept form; y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "-3y = -2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by -3
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"2%2F3\"$ x - $\"1%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( ".5y = -1.25x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by .5
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2.5x + 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Plot these two equations on your device
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-4%2C+10%2C+-4%2C+10%2C+.6667x-.3333%2C+-2.5x%2B6%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "looks like x=2, y=1 is the solution, checks out in both equations \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
