Answer 2

The x-coordinate gives the solution of the original equation.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the original equation is 2x = x + 5 ........... (1) and the solution that this equation has will be x = 5.

But, if we solve the equation by graphing each side as a separate line i.e. y = 2x and y = x + 5, then solving those two equations we get the solution x = 5 and y = 10.

Therefore, the x-coordinate i.e. x = 5 gives the solution of the original equation (1). (Answer)
