Question

Which point of intersection is the solution to the system that of equations y= 2/5x-1/2 and y=-1/3x+2/3

Answer 1

x = 35/22

y = 3/22

Explanation:

y= 2/5x-1/2 ................(1)

y=-1/3x+2/3 ...............(2)

10*(1)

10y = 4x -5 ...................(1A)

3*(2)

3y = -x +2 ....................(2A)

To find intersection, solve for y & x

4(2A) + (1A)

12y+10y = -4x+4x +8-5

22y = 3

y = 3/22

Substitute in (1)

3/22 = 2/5x -1/2

multiply by 110

15 = 44x - 55

70 = 44x

x = 70/44 = 35/22
