Question

PLEASE HELP 30 POINTS!! What is the solution to the system of equations below? y = negative one-third x + 9 and y = two-thirds x minus 12 (21, 2) (21, –10) (–21, 16) (–21, –26)

Answer 1

(21,2)

Explanation:

took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

(21, 2)

Explanation:

set equations equal to each other because they both equal y.

-1/3x + 9 = 2/3 x - 12

combine like terms by adding 1/3x and 12 to both sides.

21 = x

plug x in.

y = -1/3(21) + 9

y = -7 + 9

y = 2

check with other equation.

y = 2/3(21) - 12

y = 14 - 12

y = 2

solution: (21, 2)

hope this helps :)
