Answer:

The correct answer is second answer x = -2

Explanation:

It is given that,

y = x - 1 and

y = 2x + 1

To find the value of x

Let, y = x - 1 ---(1)

y = 2x + 1 ----(2)

From (1) and (2) we can write

x - 1 = 2x + 1

2x - x = -1 - 1

x = -2

Therefore the value of x = -2

The correct answer is second option
