Enter the ordered pair that is the solution to the system of equations graphed below.
y = -3x + 7
y = -2x + 5

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

One thing you need to remind yourself of: The y value in both equations must be the same.

That means that the two right hand values are

-3x + 7 = - 2x + 5         Subtract 5 from both sides.

      -5              -5

-3x + 2 = - 2x               Add 3x to both sides

+3x          +3x

       2 = x

Now use one of the equations to solve for y

y = -2x + 5

y = -2(2) + 5

y = - 4 + 5

y = 1

We should check this by graphing it. Notice the two graphs do cross at (2,1) just as predicted.

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent
