Answer:

(C) x = 1 1/3, y = 2 1/3

Explanation:

You want the graphical solution to the system of equations ...

  • 7x -y = 7
  • x +2y = 6

Graph

The graph of the equations is attached.

We presume you want an "estimate" because your graphing tool does not have minor gridlines appropriately graduated. It is easy enough to see that the x-value is between 1 and 2, closer to 1, and the y-value is between 2 and 3, closer to 2.

An estimate of (x, y) = (1 1/3, 2 1/3) is not unreasonable, and is the exact solution.
