y=x+3
y=2x-4
first u need to replace the x+3 in place of y in the 2n equation to get this
x+3=2x-4
then subract the x from both sides to get this
3=x-4
then add 4 from both sides to get this
7=x
then replace the 7 in one of the equations to get y to get this
y=7+3
then you are going to get the anser like this
y=10
the answer is (7,10)

if y=x+3 and y=2x-4, then
x+3 = 2x - 4 ...adding 4 to both sides of the equation yields
x+7=2x ... subtracting x from both sides yields
7 = x ...now that you know what x is, what's Y?
y = x + 3 so substituting in x = 7, you get
y = 10.
The answer is x = 7, y = 10. (7,10)

since they both equal y then you can set it up as: x+3=2x-4 then you get the x by itself by adding 4 to both sides so you have x+7=2x then you take 1x away from both sides and you get x=7. i don't know where the ten came from...there should only b one answer to this problem as the equations are both straight lines

we will be substituting the 2d equation into the first equation, by way of the indisputable fact that's extra reachable. 2x - 7(9x+40 seven) - 37 blabla, will develop into -61x-366 x = -366/sixty one x = -6 positioned x into equation 9(-6)+40 seven = y y = -7

If each one is = to y, then they are = to each other:

x+3=2x-4
-x=-7
x=7

So, if x is = to 7, then plug it in:
y=x+3
y=7+3=10
