To find the solution, we can set the two equations equal to each other since they both equal y.
9x - 2 = 7x + 3
Next, we can subtract 7x from both sides to isolate the x term.
9x - 7x - 2 = 7x - 7x + 3
2x - 2 = 3
We can then add 2 to both sides to isolate the x term.
2x - 2 + 2 = 3 + 2
2x = 5
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.
x = 5/2 or x = 2.5
To find the corresponding y-value, we can substitute the value of x into one of the original equations (either equation will give us the same result).
Using y = 9x - 2:
y = 9(2.5) - 2
y = 22.5 - 2
y = 20.5
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 2.5 and y = 20.5.
Question What is the solution of the system? y = 9x -2 y=7x + 3(1 point)
