Question:

Consider the equations

5x + 2y - 13        -3x + 7y 5- 25

(a) Put each equation into the standard format for a straight line (y = mx + b) and plot both lines. Use your graph to find the point (x, y) where these lines intersect. 

(b) Use algebra to find the values of x and y that simultaneously satisfy these two equations. 

(c) How do your answers to parts (a) and (b) compare?
