Add both the equation so that the variable x is eliminated. The solution of the equation y = x + 15 and y = −x + 8 is (-3.5, 11.5).
What is the solution to the equation?
The distribution of weights to the variables involved that establishes the equilibrium in the calculation is referred to as a result.
A relationship between two or more parameters that, when shown on a graph, produces a linear model. The degree of the variable will be one.
An unknown number y is 15 more than an unknown number x.
The number y is also x less than 8.
The equations to find x and y are shown below.
y = x + 15 ...1
y = −x + 8 ...2
Add both the equation so that the variable x is eliminated.
y + y = 15 + 8
2y = 23
y = 11.5
Then the value of x will be
11.5 = -x + 8
x = -11.5 + 8
x = -3.5
The solution of the equation y = x + 15 and y = −x + 8 is (-3.5, 11.5).
The graph is given below.
