The value of x for the system of equations will be x=6.7.

What is a system of equations?

A set of simultaneous equations is a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought in mathematics. It is also known as a system of equations or an equation system.

Given that the two equations are 2x + 2y = 17 and 4x - y = 25. The value of x will be calculated by eliminating the variable y from the equation.

Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract from the first equation,

2x+2y=17.

8x-2y=50.

10x=67.

x= 67/10

x = 6.7.

Therefore, the value of x for the system of equations will be x=6.7.
