The lines in the graph of part A don't intersect at two whole numbers on the coordinate grid. Estimate the values of the solutio
n to the nearest one-fourth of a unit. Then substitute the x- and y-values of the approximate solution into the two equations. How close do you get to the constant numbers in each equation?
The estimate is pretty close for both equations. For the first equation, the estimate results in a value that is only 0.2125 units away from the constant. For the second equation, the estimate results in a value that is only 0.25 units away from the constant.
