Describe in words how you would solve

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

Below.

Step-by-step 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.  

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
