Question

What is the solution to this system of equations?​

Answer 1

(2, 6)

Explanation:

Take a look at the graph.

The problem has rather helpfully graphed out the two equations presented to us, and the point in which both lines intersect is (2, 6), making this pair your solution.

If you'd like to check, plug in the corresponding variables.

x = 2

y = 6

First equation:

y = x + 4

6 = 2 + 4

6 = 6

The equation is true.

Second equation:

y = -0.5x + 7

6 = (-0.5 x 2) + 7

6 = -1 + 7

6 = 6

This equation is true as well.

Please inform me of any mistakes.

Answer 2

(2, 6).

Explanation:

The solution is the ordered pair where the 2 lines intersect.
