To find the solution of the system, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.
Starting with:
9x - 2 = 7x + 3
Subtracting 7x from both sides:
2x - 2 = 3
Adding 2 to both sides:
2x = 5
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 2.5
Now that we have the value of x, we can substitute it into either equation to find the value of y. Let's use the first equation:
y = 9(2.5) - 2
y = 22.5 - 2
y = 20.5
Therefore, the solution of the system is x = 2.5 and y = 20.5.
What is the solution of the system?
y = 9x - 2
y = 7x + 3
