Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
-1 -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

What is the Properties of Equality

Vesna [10]

Hi there,

Properties of Equality is two equations that have the same solution which are called equivalent equations. For example: 5+3=2+6 which all equal to 8.

In geometry, properties of Equality are the reflexive (2x=2x, a=a, b+1=b+1), symmetric (2a=3b then 3b=2a) and transitive property (if a+1=3 and 3=1-b, then a+1=1-b)

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day
