Question

Consider the following set of equations:

Equation A: y = 2x + 4
Equation B: y = 3x + 1

Which of the following is a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations?

2x + 4 = 3x + 1

2x = 3x + 4

2x + 4 = 3x

2x + 1 = 3x + 4

Answer 1

The first one. y is equal to both equations so then you can set them equal to each other and solve for x  if the questions requires it.
