Question

A system of equations is shown below:

y = 3x − 7
y = 2x + 1

What is the solution to the system of equations?
(8, 17) (−8, 17) (−8, −17) (8, −17)
x

Answer 1

Hi Brainiac

y=3x-7

y=2x+1

We need to solve y=3x-7 for y

Now let's start by substitute 3x-7 for y in y=2x+1

y=2x+1

3x-7=2x=1

Now add -2x

3x-7-2x=2x+1-2x

x-7=1

Add 7

x-7+7=1+7

x=8

Our last step is to substitute 8 for x in y=3x-7

y=3x-7

y=(3)(8)-7

y= 24-7

y= 17

Answer : A
