Is there an ordered pair that is a solution to BOTH of
these linear equations?
y=x+1
y = -x + 5
No
Yes

The ordered pair is (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use substitution. With substitution, we substitute the y in each problem with the equations. In this case, x + 1 can substitute the y in y = -x + 5. Here is what the problem looks like now:

x + 1 = -x + 5

The reason we used substitution is because we assume that these linear equations are equal. We must prove it, though. We can use algebra.

Move the variables to one side and the numerical values to another:

x + x = 5 - 1.

Simplify.

2x = 4

Simplify.

x = 2.

Now, we got our x value, we can substitute it into our problem:

y = 2 + 1

y + -2 + 5

2 + 1 = - 2 + 5 = 3

Our x is 2, and our y is 3. The ordered pair that is a solution is (2,3).

answer: the area of the parallelogram below is 42 square meters.
