Question

Solve the system of equations below. Write your answer as an ordered pair

(x, y).
Solve:
{Y= -3x + 13
{Y= -2x + 1

Answer 1

(12, -23)

Explanation:

to find x, substitute the value of y into y

-2x+1=-3x+13

collecting like terms

-2x+3x=13-1

x=12

to find y substitute the value x=12 into any of the equation

y=-3x+13

y=-3(12) +13

y= -36+13

y=-23
