Question

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below? y = x + 2 y = 3x – 2 A. (0, 2) B. (2, 4) C. (4, 2) D. (0, –2)

Answer 1

Answer:

(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute the value of y x+2 = 3x-2

solve the value of x  x = 2

substitue the value of x into one of the equations y = 2+2

solve for y value y = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

B. (2, 4)

Explanation:

Given equations:

a) y = x + 2

b) y = 3x – 2

Solve them simultaneously:

x + 2 = 3x – 2

x - 3x = -2 - 2

-2x = -4

x = 2

Then find y = x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

Solution: (x, y) = (2, 4)
