A pair of equations is shown below.

3x − y = 9
y = −2x + 11

If the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines representing the two equations intersect? (4 points)

Answer: (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rearrange the first equation to get [tex]3x-9=y[/tex].

Thus, we can conclude that:

  • 3x - 9 = -2x + 11
  • 5x - 9 = 11 [add 2x to both sides]
  • 5x = 20 [add 9 to both sides]
  • x = 4 [divide both sides by 5]

Thus, if x = 4, y=3(4)-9=3.

So, they graphs intersect at (4,3).
