Question

Part A: Explain how you will solve this pair of equations using substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution. (5 points)

Part B: On a graph, what point will the lines representing the two equations intersect? Explain your answer. (5 points)

y = 16x + 4
y = 25x − 23

Answer 1

y = 16x + 4

y = 25x - 23

____________

16x + 4 = 25x - 23

27 = 9x

3=x

__________

y = 25(3) - 23

y = 75 - 23

y = 52

_________

They will intersect at (3, 52)

Explanation:

The second step which is bolded I simplified the equation. In the next step I'm going to substitute 3 into the second equation.
