<PRE><B>Question 459741</B>
Find the point of intersection on a pair of straight lines.

Y=3x-15
Y=-2x+10

The point of intersection is expressed in terms of x and y.

Solve first for x by eliminating y. Deduct first equation by the second equation.

(y-y) = (3x- -2x) -15-10
0 = 5x -25
5x = 25
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 in first equation
y = 3(5) -15
y = 0

The point of intersection is (5,0).
