I don’t have the time for my birthday but I’m just asking for a little
2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0
b = 2, a = 0
Answer:
Examination of the equation shows (graph):
x = 0, y = .5
Then .5 = c gives us the value of c giving
y = m x + .5 is our equation
Using y = 0, x = -1 gives
o = -1 * m + .5
m = .5
y = .5 x + .5 for the final equation
Check:
At x = 5, y = 3
3 = .5 (5) + .5 = 3
