Question

For the following system a) What is the value of x? b ) What is the value of y ?

Answer 1

x = 12

y = -23

Explanation:

to solve for this i think we have to do:

y = -3x + 13

-

y = -2x + 1

-----------------------

0 = -x + 12

-x = -12

x = 12

then i think.... i think you have to substitute to one of the equations

y = -3(12) + 13

y = -36 + 13

y = -23

then to check we substitute to the second equation

-23 = -2(12) + 1 ?

-23 = -24 + 1?

-23 = -23
