Question

A system of equations is shown below:

3x − y = 2
x + y = 6

The x−coordinate of the solution to this system of equations is

Answer 1

`</p><p>3x-y=2 \\ </p><p>x+y=6 \\ \\</p><p>4x=8\Longrightarrow x=\boxed{2}</p><p>`

The x coordinate is equal to 2.

Here we used elimination to eliminate y by adding both equations.

Hope this helps.
