Question

The equation of line 1 is 3x−2y=5, and the equation of line 2 is x+2y=7. What is the point of intersection of the two lines?

Answer 1

Answer:

(3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations so I'll solve it using the 'Addition method'.

3x - 2y = 5 | x + 2y = 7

Add the two equations together to get:

4x = 12

x = 3

Then we solve for y using the 2nd expression because it's easier.

3 + 2y = 7

2y = 4

y = 2
