Question 291546:  How do I solve this system of equations?
 
y=2x+3 
y=-2x+7 
 Answer by blwinbbbles(106)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! You would use substitution
 
if y = 2x + 3 and y = -2x + 7 then you can say:
 
2x + 3 = -2x + 7  add 2x to both sides 
4x + 3 = 7  subtract 3 from both sides 
4x = 4  divide by 4 
x = 1
 
so if x = 1 
then go back to one of the original equations and put 1 in place of x 
therefore:
 
y = 2(1) + 3 
y = 2 + 3 
y = 5
 
your cordinate is (1,5)
