Answer:
x = 3 , y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that both equations is equal to y. Set the two equations equal to each other
y = 7x - 8; y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = 5x - 2
Isolate the x. Subtract 5x and add 8 to both sides
7x (-5x) - 8 (+8) = 5x (-5x) - 2 (+8)
7x - 5x = -2 + 8
Simplify.
(7x - 5x) = (-2 + 8)
2x = 6
Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides
(2x)/2 = (6)/2
x = 6/2
x = 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug in 3 for x in one of the equations.
y = 7x - 8
y = 7(3) - 8
Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.
y = 7(3) - 8
y = 21 - 8
y = 13
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 3, y = 13 is your answer
