Question

How do i solve this -> y=x+46, y=7x+16

Answer 1

x=5, y=51

Explanation:

y = x + 46

y = 7x + 16 substitute equation 1 into equation 2 to get an expression all in terms of x, then solve for x

7x + 16 = x + 46

6x = 30

x = 30/6 = 5 substitute this into either equation and solve for y

y = 5 + 46 = 51
