Two linear equations are shown.

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals StartFraction one-third EndFraction x plus 2 and passes through (negative 6, 0) and (0, 2). The second line is labeled y equals StartFraction 4 over 3 EndFraction minus 5.
What is the solution to the system of equations?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 7; y = 4 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is the point of intersection of the lines.

Read the point of intersection.

You can also solve the system using algebra.

y = 1/3 x + 2

y = 4/3 x - 5

1/3 x + 2 = 4/3 x - 5

x + 6 = 4x - 15

-3x = -21

x = 7

y = 1/3 x + 2

y = 1/3 × 7 + 2

y = 2 1/3 + 2

y = 4 1/3

Answer: x = 7; y = 4 1/3
