Problem

Solve the system of equations by graphing. \[ \begin{array}{l} x-y=7 \\ x+y=-1 \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :\(x-y=7\) and \(x+y=-1\)

Step 2 :Add the two equations: \(2x = 6\)

Step 3 :Divide by 2: \(x = 3\)

Step 4 :Substitute x into the first equation: \(3-y=7\)

Step 5 :Subtract 3: \(-y=4\)

Step 6 :Multiply by -1: \(y=-4\)

Step 7 :\(\boxed{x=3, y=-4}\)
