Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x1 = 5

y1 = 6

slope (m) = 2

Solution:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 6 = 2 ( x - 5 )

y - 6 = 2x - 10

y = 2x - 10 + 6

y = 2x - 4

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

<em>Number of Commercials = C</em>

<em>Number of Movies = M</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jaces songs were played on 6 more commercials than movies.</em>

$\boxed{C = 6 + M}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jace will earn $50 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $140 every time one of his songs is played in a movie.</em>

<em>His total earnings in the royalties from all commercials and movies was $680.</em>

$\boxed{50C + 140M = 680}$ → <em>Equation 2</em>
