Question

What is the best approximation of the solution to the system to the nearest integer values?

(1, 7)
(0, 6)
(7, 1)
(7, 0)

Answer 1

(1, 7) is correct.

Explanation:

I took the test, and this was the correct choice.

Answer 2

The best approximation of the solution to the system to the nearest integer values is (1,7)

Explanation:

we have

`x-y=-6` -----> equation A

`5x+3y=24` -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (0.75,6.75)

see the attached figure

therefore

The best approximation of the solution to the system to the nearest integer values is (1,7)
