Question

What is the best approximation for the solution to this system of equations?

y = – 3
y = x – 0.8

(–3.2, –3)
(–2.9, –3)
(–2.2, –3)
(–1.9, –3)

Answer 1

(-2.2,-3)

Explanation:

Answer 2

If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

y = - 3
y = x - 0.8
_________
y = y
- 3 = x - 0.8
x = - 3 + 0.8
x = - 2.2

(x, y) = (- 2.2, - 3)

The correct result would be (- 2.2, - 3).
