To determine the common point of the lines, we'll have to
solve the system formed form the equations of the
lines.
y=20-x (1)
3x-2y-6=0
(2)
The solution of this system represents the coordinates
of the intercepting point.
We'll solve the system
using substitution method.
3x - 2(20-x) - 6 =
0
We'll remove the
brackets:
3x - 40 + 2x - 6 =
0
We'll combine like tems:
5x
- 46 = 0
We'll add 46:
5x =
46
x = 46/5
We'll susbtitute x
in (1) and we'll have:
y=20 -
46/5
y = (100-46)/5
y =
54/5
The coordinates of the
intercepting point of the lines are (46/5 ,
54/5).
