A pair of equations is shown below: y = 7x − 8 y = 5x − 2 Part A: Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution or elimination. Show all the steps and write the solution. (5 points) Part B: If the two equations are graphed, at what point will the lines representing the two equations intersect? Explain your answer. (5 points

Respuesta :

Part A) If would probably be smart to use substitution because y is already solved for, so we can substitute the value of y as a function of x into the other equation.
y=7x-8
y=5x-2

7x-8=5x-2
    +8     +8
-----------------
7x=5x+6
-5x  -5x
----------------
2x=6
/2   /2
-----------
x=3

y=7x-8
y=21-8
y=13

Part B) The lines will intersect at point (3, 13), because idk it just makes sense

Answer: The equation intersects at (3, 13)

Step-by-step explanation: I took a test and got it right
