Question

How do you solve the system by graphing `y = - 3x + 8` and `y = 2x + 3`?

Answer 1

Solution is `x=1` and `y=5`

Explanation:

As `y=−3x+8` and `y=2x+3`

`-3x+8=2x+3` or `8-3=2x+3x`

Hence `5x=5` or `x=1`

Now putting this in first equation

`y=-3*1+8=-3+8=5`

Hence solution is `x=1` and `y=5`
