3x+y=7 and 3x-y=7

Question

Get two points with substitution method

 

Answer 1

Court,

          solving the first equation for y gives y=7-3x, putting this in the second gives 3x-(7-3x)=7 or 6x=14 and x=14/6 or 7/3. Putting this in either of the original equations gives y=0

 

So the solution is x=7/3. y=0
