Answer:

solution set is (x,y) = (7,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

solving by substitution method

2x +y=20--------------1

6x-5y=12---------------2

from equation 1, solve for y

2x+y=20

y= 20-2x------equation 3

adding value of y in equation 2

6x-5y=12

6x-5(20-2x)=12

6x-100+10x=12

16x= 12+100

16x= 112

x= 112/16

x=7

adding value of x in equation 3

y= 20-2x

y= 20- 2(7)

y=20-14

y=6

so solution set (x,y) = (7,6)

Answer:

x intercept= (-3,0)  y intercept= (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

for x intercepts, y should equal zero

for y intercepts, x should equal zero

x intercept: -x+0=3

-x=3

x=-3  (x,y)--> (-3,0)

y intercept: 0+y=3

y=3 (x,y)--> (0,3)
