Question

Solve using system of equations and find point of intersection
y=40-3x
y=26+5x

Answer 1

Answer:

(x,y) = (3,41)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=40-3x --(1)

3x+y=40 --(2)

y=26+5x --(3)

Substitute eq. 2 in 1

3x+ 26+5x =40

8x=40-26

8x=24

x=24/8

x=3 --(4)

Substitute 4 in 1

y=40-3(3)

=40-9

y=41
