Ernesto tried to determine the solution for the system of equations using substitution. His work is shown below. x – y = 7

3x – 2y = 8

Step 1: x = y + 7

Step 2: 3(y + 7) – 2y = 8

Step 3: 3y + 7 – 2y = 8

Step 4: y + 7 = 8

Step 5: y = 1

In which step did Ernesto make the first error?

step-by-step explanation:

i will u if u answer my question in math

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
