Answer to Problem 1E
The system of equations
Explanation of Solution
The system of equations are,
The unknown values represented by a letter are known as variable. In the given system of equations x and y are unknown values.
Thus, in a system of two equations two variables are x and y.
Substitute 5 for x and
The point
Substitute 5 for x and
The point
The point
Thus, a solution has to satisfy each equation in the system.
Thus, it can noticed that
Substitute
