To determine the intercepting point of the
given lines, we'll have to solve the system formed by the equations of the
lines
We'll try to solve the
system using substitution method.
x - 3y =
5
x = 5 + 3y (1)
We'll
substitute (1) in the second equation of the system:
2x +
2y = 4
We'll divide by 2:
x +
y = 2
(5 + 3y) + y = 2
We'll
remove the brackets:
5 + 3y + y =
2
We'll combine like terms:
5
+ 4y = 2
We'll subtract 5:
4y
= -3
We'll divide by
4:
y =
-3/4
We'll substitute y in
(1):
x = 5 - 9/4
x =
(20-9)/4
x =
11/4
The solution of the
system is {(11/4;-3/4)}.
