Question

Solve the system of equations. Y=9x-17 y = x + 23

Answer 1

Answer:

y=9x-17; x=17/9 or x=1 8/9 or x=1.8

y=x+23; x= -23

Step-by-step explanation:

y=9x-17

0=9x-17 (Move variables to the left-hand side and change its sign)

-9x=-17 (Divide both sides of the equation by -9)

x=17/9, x=1 8/9, or x=1.8

y=x+23

0=x+23 (To find x-intercept/zero, substitute y=0)

-x=23 (Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign)

x= -23 (Change the signs on both sides of the equation)

x= -23
