Question

Look at the system of equations below. Y=2x+5 y=x+6 What is the x-coordinate of the solution to the system?

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Given the system of equations below

y=2x+5

y=x+6

Equating the right hand side of the expressions we will have;

2x+5 = x+6

Collect the like terms;

2x - x = 6 - 5

x = 1

Hence the x-coordinate of the solution to the system is 1
