Givensystem%282x%2B3y=+12%28EQN1%29%2Cx%2By=4%28EQN2%29%29+
In EQN 2 we get--->y=4-x, EQN 3, which we subst. in EQN 1:
2x%2B3%28highlight%284-x%29%29=12
2x%2B12-3x=12---->3x-2x=12-12---->red%28x=0%29
Substitute x=0 in EQN 3:
y=4-0----->red%28y=4%29
There you go, Point of Intersection (0,4).
See graph to verify:
---> RED Line (EQN 1); GREEN Line (EQN 2)
Thank you,
