Isolate x on one side of the equation.
Find the point of intersection of the lines.
How are the equations in Part B and the equation in Part A related?
x=3
(3,5)
See solution.
Let's isolate x on one of the sides by using inverse operations and Properties of Equality.
Note that both equations are written in slope-intercept form.
The lines intersect at the point (3,5). This is the solution to the system of linear equations.
The equation in Part A is the result of equating the equations in Part B. The solution to the equation in Part A is x=3, which is also the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations in Part B. Notice, however, that the solution to the system consists of an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate.
