Algebra Examples

x + y = 1

$x + y = 1$

y = - \frac{1}{6} x - 4

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x - 4$

Step 1

Subtract

x

$x$ from both sides of the equation.

y = 1 - x

$y = 1 - x$

y = - \frac{1}{6} x - 4

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x - 4$

Step 2

Combine

x

$x$ and

\frac{1}{6}

$\frac{1}{6}$ .

y = - \frac{x}{6} - 4

$y = - \frac{x}{6} - 4$

y = 1 - x

$y = 1 - x$

Step 3

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.

(6, - 5)

$(6, - 5)$
