Question

Y=x+3
y=3x+1

A. (1,3)
B. (0,1)
O C. (0,3)
D. (1.4)

Answer 1

D: (1, 4)

Explanation:

You can either solve by substitution or elimination. If you are timed, the fastest way is to guess and check (plug-in the answer choices)

I will be using substitution to solve this:

Step 1: Since you have y already, you can set them equal to each other

x+3 = 3x+1

3 = 2x +1

2 = 2x

x = 1

Step 2: Now you have x, plug x into one of the original equations. In this case, I will use the first one

y = 1 + 3

y = 4

Step 3: Now write your answer as a coordinate plane point

x = 1, y = 4
