Question

Describe in words how you would solve

the linear system y = 3x + 1 and y = - 2x + 3.

Answer 1

Below.

Explanation:

As both the right sides of the 2 equations are equal to y, by the transitive law of equality 3x + 1 = -2x + 3.

W then solve this equation for x then substitute this value of x in the first equation ( y = 3x + 1) to find the value of y.
