Question
The system of equations above is graphed in the xy -plane. What is the x -coordinate of the intersection point ( x, y) of the system?
- - 0.5
- - 0.25
- 0.8
- 1.75
Hint:
Hint:
- Point of intersection of graph of two linear equation is solution of both equation.
The correct answer is: - 0.5
Explanation:
- We have given two linear equation
- We have find the x coordinate of intersection of this system of equation
Step 1 of 1:
The given linear equation is
Multiply second equation by 3
We will get
Now add first equation, we will get
Therefore, x coordinate is -0.5.
Hence, Option A is correct.

According to the system of equations above, what is the value of X ?
Note:
Here we find the value of y from equation (1) and use it in equation (2).
We could do it the other way and receive the same answer, that is, if we find the value of y from equation (2) and use it in equation (1) to find x, we get the same value of x as found in the solution above.
