Question

Which is the best approximate solution of the system of linear equations y = 1.5x – 1 and y = 1?

a. (0.33, 1)
b. (1.33, 1)
c. (1.83, 1)
d. (2.33, 1)

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

To find the solution to the system of linear equations, we need to solve for the values of x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.

Setting the two equations equal to each other, we get:

1.5x - 1 = 1

Solving for x, we add 1 to both sides and then divide by 1.5:

1.5x = 2

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33

Thus, the answer is x=1.33 and y=1, i.e, (1.33,1)
