Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations is expressed as
y=-2x+7 - - - - - - - - 1
y=5x-7 - - - - - - - - -2
We would equate equation 1 and equation 2. It becomes
- 2x + 7 = 5x - 7
We would add 2x to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. Also add 7 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes
- 2x + 2x + 7 + 7 = 5x + 2x - 7 + 7
14 = 7x
Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 7, it becomes
7x/7 = 14/2
x = 2
y= -2 × 2 + 7
y = - 4 + 7
y = 3
