If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

y = 7 x + 43
y = 2 x + 13
____________
7 x + 43 = 2 x + 13
7 x - 2 x = 13 - 43
5 x = - 30    /5
x = - 30 / 5
x = - 6

y = 7 x + 43 = 7 * (- 6) + 43 = - 42 + 43 = 1

Leader

Put the equations on top of each other and subtract. This will eliminate one variable.

y=7x+43
y=2x+13
_______
0=5x+30

Subtract 30 on both sides.

-30=5x

Divide by 5 on both sides.

x=-6

Substitute x=-6 back into one of the equations to find y.

y=2(-6)+13

Multiply 2 and -6.

y=-12+13

Add.

y=1

\({\boxed{x=-6}{\boxed{y=1}\)
