Question

Find the value of x by finishing solving the system shown below.

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

Since both equations give y in terms of x, equate the right sides

3x - 28 = - 2x + 22 ( add 2x to both sides )

5x - 28 = 22 ( add 28 to both sides )

5x = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 10
