y=9.65x+43    y=8.40x+58

 

Let's just set the equations equal

 

9.65x + 43  = 8.40x + 58      subtract 8.40x, 43 from both sides

 

1.25x  = 15      divide both sides by 1.25

 

x = 12

 

And we can use the first equation to find y

 

y = 9.65(12) + 43  =   

 

      115.8  +  43   =

 

       158.8

 

So....the solution is  {x , y}   = { 12, 158.8}

 

 

cool cool cool

I assume you want to know what point the two equations intersect so I will show that through algebra.

 

y=9.65x+43

 

y=8.40x+58 or y=8.4x+58

 

9.65x+43=8.4x+58

 

9.65x=8.4x+15

 

1.25x=15

 

x=12

 

y=8.4(12)+58

 

y=100.8+58

 

y=158.8

 

The point that these two equations go through is the ordered pair (12,158.8)

 

Here is the graph showing the two eqations and the ordered pair they both go through\
