Question

What is the value of x in the solution to the following system of equations? (5 points)

x − 2y = 2
3x + y = 6

__________

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

Take x-2y=2. If you plug 3 as x it would be 3-2y=2. In order for 3 to work you would have to find a number that would change 2y into 1. Therefore your answer is x=2

Answer 2

The value is

`x = 3`
