Answer: y=7,x=3

Steps:

y = 2x + 1

3x + y = 16

Substitute y = 2x + 1

3x + 2x + 1 = 16

Simplify

5x+1=16

Isolate x for 5x + 1 = 16: x = 3

For y = 2x + 1

Substitute x = 3

y = 2 · 3 + 1

Simplify

y = 7

The solutions to the system of equations are:

y = 7, x = 3

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair is $(7,2834)$

Y-intercept is $(0,4682)$

X-intercept is $(17.73,0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of a certain company's video stores can be approximated by the linear equation

$y= -264\ x+4682$

where $y$ is the number of stores and $x$ represents the number of years after 1990.

To find the missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair solution $(7,?)$

For the ordered pair, we are given the $x$ value which is =7 i.e 7 years after 1990. Thus we will plugin $x=7$ in the linear equation to get the $y$ value which is number of stores after 7 years from 1990.

$y= -264\ (7)+4682$

$y= -1848+4682$

$y= 2834$

Thus the ordered pair is $(7,2834)$

To find y-intercept which is the point where the line touches the y-axis, we would plugin $x=0$ in the equation as the x-coordinate is 0 at y-axis.

$y= -264\ (0)+4682$

$y= 0+4682$

$y=4682$

Thus y-intercept is at point $(0,4682)$

To find x-intercept which is the point where the line touches the x-axis, we would plugin $y=0$ in the equation as the y-coordinate is 0 at x-axis and thus for $x$
