Solve the system of equations by graphing

A system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. The solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. To solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system. The solution to the system will be in the point where the two lines intersect.

Example

{y=2x+2y=x−1

Graph the equations in a coordinate plane

figure30

The two lines intersect in (-3, -4) which is the solution to this system of equations.

your answer is 23/2 - 13.5

step-by-step explanation:

7/2 evaluates to

multiply x and 4.5

multiply x and 1

the x just gets copied along.

the answer is x

x

4.5*x evaluates to 4.5x

multiply 3 and 4.5x

multiply 1 and x

the x just gets copied along.

x

4.5*x*3 evaluates to 13.5x

7/2-4.5*x*3 evaluates to

  + 8 =

the answer is

7/2-4.5*x*3+8 evaluates to
