Solved by pluggable solver: Solve the System of Equations by Graphing



Start with the given system of equations:


3x-2y=6

5x%2B25y=5





In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.




So let's solve for y on the first equation


3x-2y=6 Start with the given equation



-2y=6-3x Subtract 3+x from both sides



-2y=-3x%2B6 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-3x%2B6%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2



y=%28-3%2F-2%29x%2B%286%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction



y=%283%2F2%29x-3 Reduce



Now lets graph y=%283%2F2%29x-3 (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)



+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%283%2F2%29x-3%29+ Graph of y=%283%2F2%29x-3




So let's solve for y on the second equation


5x%2B25y=5 Start with the given equation



25y=5-5x Subtract 5+x from both sides



25y=-5x%2B5 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-5x%2B5%29%2F%2825%29 Divide both sides by 25



y=%28-5%2F25%29x%2B%285%29%2F%2825%29 Break up the fraction



y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B1%2F5 Reduce





Now lets add the graph of y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B1%2F5 to our first plot to get:


+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%283%2F2%29x-3%2C%28-1%2F5%29x%2B1%2F5%29+ Graph of y=%283%2F2%29x-3(red) and y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B1%2F5(green)


From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (32%2F17,-3%2F17) (note: you might have to adjust the window to see the intersection)
