Lets see what we're working on, in this problem.
▶Your solutions
⚫Solution 1: 2(x) + y = 5
⚫Solution 2: x + y = 4
▶Your graphic organizer
⚫y + 2(x) = 5
⚫ y + x = 4
▶In the solution #2, the value of 'x' becomes a negative number; we had to look for the y-intercept.
⚫ y = -x + 4
~From the looks of it, we didnt find the y-intercept in the second solution
▶ Lets look for the x-intercept in the solution #1
⚫2(x) + (-x +4) = 5
~From the looks of it , we have found the x-intercept in the first solution
⚫x-intercept: 1
▶Since we didnt find the y-intercept in the solution, we have to look for it in the first solution.
⚫x-intercept: 1
y = -1 + 4 = 3
~We have found the y-intercept in the first solution
⚫ y-intercept: 3
Your answer: {x-intercept: 1; y-intercept: 3
Good Luck!
