Answer:
(2,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
One thing you need to remind yourself of: The y value in both equations must be the same.
That means that the two right hand values are
-3x + 7 = - 2x + 5 Subtract 5 from both sides.
-5 -5
-3x + 2 = - 2x Add 3x to both sides
+3x +3x
2 = x
Now use one of the equations to solve for y
y = -2x + 5
y = -2(2) + 5
y = - 4 + 5
y = 1
We should check this by graphing it. Notice the two graphs do cross at (2,1) just as predicted.
