The intersection is the point where two equations meet. It is calculated by substituting terms into the equations involved. For the given systems of equation, calculations are as follows:
2x - y = 6
y = 2x - 6
We substitute the equation above to the second equation.
5x + 10y = –10
5x + 10( 2x - 6 )= –10
Simplifying,
5x + 20x - 60 = -10
25x = 50
x = 2
Therefore, the intersection has the value of x equal to 2.
