Answer:
(2,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we notice that
y = -x + 7
y = 2x + 1
Next, since both -x + 7 and 2x + 1 are equal to y, than by that logic it means
-x+7 = 2x+ 1
Add x to both sides
7 = 3x+1
Subtract 1 from both sides
6 = 3x
x = 2
Now that we solved x, let's plug x = 2 into either -x+7 or 2x + 1. Either way, both will have the same answer.
y = -x + 7
y = -(2) +7
y = 5
Therefore, the answer is
x= 2
y = 5
