Solution a.k.a. the coordinate point where the two lines cross/intersect. Example

Solve system by elimination method~

Y= 5x+3

Y= 10x+17

Multiply top by -2.

You now have~

Y=-10x+(-6)

Y=10x+17

********Y= 11(this is the "y" of your end solution)

Now plug 11 into y on either equation (I chose the first one)

11=5x+3

-3 -3

8=5x

÷5 ÷5

********1.6=x (this is the x of your end solution)

So in conclusion, your SOLUTION (the thing you solved this whole system of equations for) is:

(1.6, 11)

*it is written as a coordinate graph point (x, y).

Hope this helps, regards, Ryan S. :)
