Question

Find the answer to the following system of equa
How many solutions are there for this system of
equations?
y= 2x + 3
y = -5x – 2

Answer 1

Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 3

y = -5x - 2

2x + 3 = -5x - 2

Add 5x to both sides;

7x + 3 = -2

Subtract 3 from both sides;

7x = -5

Divide both sides by 7;

$x=-\frac{5}{7}$
