Question

How many solutions to y=2x-3 y=-x+3

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I dunno what you need but that's the answer to y...

Answer 2

Answer:

One solution, as there is only one intersection between these two lines.

x = 2, and y = 1 (point of interesection (2, 1) )

y = 2x-3

y = -x + 3

first step is to substitute the y of one equation into the other and solve for x.

- x + 3 = 2x - 3

___________

+x. +x

_____________

3 = 3x-3

_____________

+3 +3

____________

6 = 3x

_____________

÷3 ÷3

_______________

2 = x

______________

x = 2

_______________

We can verify this value is true by substituting it back into the equations and as a result also solving for the working y value.

x = 2 -> y = 2(x) - 3

2(2) - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1

y = 1

____________

x = 2 -> y = -(x) + 3

-(2) + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1

y = 1
