Answer 1

Answer:

  (x, y) = (0, -2248)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution

Substitute for y:

  300x -2248 = 350x -2248

  0 = 50x . . . . . . . . add 2248-300x to both sides

  x = 0

  y = 300·0 -2248

The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).

__

Elimination

Subtract the first equation from the second.

  (y) -(y) = (350x -2248) -(300x -2248)

  0 = 50x

  x = 0

  y = 300·0 -2248

The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).

Additional comment

If you think for a bit about what the graph looks like, you realize both lines cross at their y-intercept, (0, -2248). That point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations.
