Answer : (0.96, 2.53)

Given the below system of equations

x - y = -1.57 ------------- equation 1

x + y = 3.48------------- equation 2

To find the y intercept of the first equation, make x = 0

x - y = -1.57

when x = 0

0 - y = -1.57

-y = -1.57

y = 1.57

To find x, let y = 0

x - y = -1.57

x - 0 = -1.57

x = -1.57

Therefore, we have (-1.57, 1.57)

Second equation

x + y = 3.48

To find y, make x = 0

0 + y = 3.48

y = 3.48

To find x let y = 0

x + y = 3.48

x +0 = 3.48

x = 3.48

Therefore, we have (3.48, 3.48)

We will now graph the above points

Therefore, the solution of the system of the equation is

x = 0.96 and y = 2.53

(0.96, 2.53)

Solve the system of equations below by graphing. x-y=1.57x+y=3.48-example-1
