We are using substitution to solve this problem.
y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)
(2/5,11/5)

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
1.5, 1.6
Discussion:
The question is how to interpret 5/10 * 3. Both multiplication and division have the same precedence but we proceed from left to right (doing the divison first)
5/10 * 3 = (5/10) * 3 = (1/2)* 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
Same approach for the second equation:
4/10 * 4 = (4/10) * 4 = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6
Thank you,
MrB
The LCD (least common denominator) is the lowest number that both denominators (12 and 5) go into. The lowest number that both 5 and 12 go into is 60. The LCD of the two fractions is 60.
