Question

What is the approximate solution of this system of equations?

y=2x
y =3x
​

A) (−1.5,−3)
B) (−1.6,−3.2)
C) (−1.7,−3.4)
D) (−1.8,−3.6)

Answer 1

The approximate solution of the system of equations y = 2x and y = 3x is (0, 0). None of the given options is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations, we can substitute the second equation into the first equation:

2x = 3x

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:

-x = 0

Dividing both sides by -1, we get:

x = 0

Substituting x = 0 into either of the original equations, we get:

y = 2(0) = 0

Therefore, the approximate solution of the system of equations is (0, 0). None of the given options is answer.
