Question

a system of equations is shown below. y=2x+1 and y=x+2 what is the solution to the system? A. (0,1) B. (1,2) C. (1,3) D. (2,4)

Answer 1

(1,3)

Explanation:

Given system of equations is :-

1. y = 2x + 1
2. y = x + 2

We can solve this by using substitution method by substituting the value of y from equation (1) into equation (2) as ,

2x + 1 = x + 2

Subtract x on both sides,

2x - x + 1 = 2

Simplify,

x = 2 - 1

x = 1

Substitute this value of x into equation (2) as ,

y = 1 + 2

y = 1 + 2

y = 3

Hence the required answer is (1,3) .

and we are done!
