Question

Solve the simultaneous equations y=3x+2 and y=x+6

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x+2

y=x+6

Since you're stating that, they both equal because equation is equated to equation 2 because of the Y.

Therefore, substitute into both equations as shown:

3x+2=x+6

3x-x=6-2  (bring 2 to the other side by subtracting 2 as well as x)

2x=4

2x/2=4/2  (dividing 2 on both sides to get rid off 2 in 2x)

x=2.
