Question 6

The graphs of the straight lines with equations y=12x+2\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2y=21​x+2 and x+y=5x + y = 5x+y=5 have been drawn on the grid.

A coordinate grid with x and y axes ranging from -2 to 8. Two straight lines are plotted. The first line, y = 0.5x + 2, passes through the points (0, 2), (2, 3), (4, 4), and (6, 5). The second line, x + y = 5, passes through the points (0, 5), (2, 3), and (5, 0). The two lines intersect at the point (2, 3).

Use the graphs to solve the simultaneous equations

y=12x+2 y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2 y=21​x+2 x+y=5 x + y = 5 x+y=5
