Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

PART A

Let's look at our two equations.

y=3x-5

y=6x-8

We will solve this with substitution because we have two different values for y, so it will be be very easy to substitute.

We know that y is equal to 6x-8. This means that we can replace the y in the first equation with 6x-8 and then solve for x.

6x-8=3x-5

We add 8 to both sides.

6x=3x+3

We subtract 3x from both sides.

3x=3

We divide both sides by 3.

x=1

We can plug this x-value into either of our equations to figure out what y is.

y=6(1)-8

y=6-8

y=-2

Therefore, our solution is x=1 and y= -2.

PART B

When graphing the two equations in a systems of equation, the point where they intersect is the solution. We already have our solution, so now we will just write it as a point, which is (1,-2).

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer 2

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x − 5

y = 6x − 8

I will use substitution by substituting for y in the first equation

y = 3x − 5

6x -8 = 3x-5

Subtract 3x from each side

6x-3x -8 = 3x-5-3x

3x-8 = -5

Add 8 to each side

3x-8+8 = -5+8

3x =3

Divide by 3

3x/3= 3/3

x =1

Now find y

y = 3x − 5

  = 3(1) -5

  =3-5

  = -2

( 1,-2)

The two lines will intersect at ( 1,-2)

The solution to the two equations is where the lines intersect.
