Question

Y=-x-2 y=2x-5 what is the x coordinate of the soloution Y=-x-2 y=2x-5

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

given the equations

y = - x - 2 → (1)

y = 2x - 5 → (2)

substitute y = 2x - 5 into (1)

2x - 5 = - x - 2 ( add x to both sides )

3x - 5 = - 2 ( add 5 to both sides )

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1

the x- coordinate of the point is x = 1
