Question

`y= 3x + 13\\y=7x + 17`

Answer 1

Hi, I'm Za'Riah! I will gladly assist you with your problem. (see explanation)

Explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

y=3x+13; y=7x+17

Step: Solve y = 3x + 13 for y:

y=3x+13

Step: Substitute 3x + 13 for y in y = 7x + 17 :

y=7x+17

3x+13= 7x+17

3x+13+-7x=7x+17+-7x (Add -7x to both sides)

-4x+13=17

-4x+13+-13=17+-13 (Add -13 to both sides)

-4x=4

-4x/-4 = 4/-4 (Divide both sides by -4)

x=-1

Step: Substitute -1 for x in y=3x+13:

y=3x+13

y=(3)(-1)+13

y=10(simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x= -1 and y= 10
