Question

At what point do the lines y= 2x + 3 and y = 5x - 9 intersect? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(4,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+3

y=5x-9

the first equation is equal to the second equation so

2x+3=5x-9

put like terms together

2x-5x= -9-3

-3x= -12

divide both sides by -3

.•.x=4

now, use the value of x to find the value of y like this:

y=2x+3 (x=4)

y=2(4)+3

y=8+3

y=11

therefore, the two lines intersect at the point (4,11)
