Question

Solve the following system of equations graphically on the set of axes below. y=3x−3 , x+y=5

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, graph both equations on a rectangular coordinate system (see attached screenshot). Then, simply figure out where these two lines intersect. Since they intersect at (2,3), x=2 and y=3.

Plugging these values in the equations for x and y, you can see if these are the correct answers:

(3)=3(2)-3, (2)+(3)=5

Since both of these are true, you have the right answer.

Hope this helps!
