For this problem I would change:

2x + 3y = 25 into

-2x - 3y = -25

Then, I would add up both equations by lining them up top of another.

5x + 3y = 31
+ -2x - 3y = -25

3x = 6
x = 2

Now that you have x, solve for y.

5x + 3y = 31

5(2) + 3y = 31

10 + 3y = 31

3y = 21

y = 7

So, x is 2 and y is 7.

Check to see if the values are correct by plugging them into the other equation.

2x + 3y = 25

2(2) + 3(7) = 25

4 + 21 = 25

25 = 25

Since the values are correct, the solution to this problem is A (2, 7).

What is the equasion of the line that passes through (0,5) and (2,3)

Annette [7]

The equation for a line is mx + b = y where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. To find the slope, we need to use the equation $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ .

$m = \frac{5 - 3}{0 - 2}$

$m = \frac{2}{-2}$

$m = -1$

Therefore, m is equal to -1. Normally, we would then have to plug in m and one of the points to find b. However, because the point (0,5) is the y-intercept (the y-intercept is the point on the line where x is equal to 0), we can skip this step and go straight to forming the final equation, which is $y=-1x+5$ .
