Question

X + 2y = 3 3x - 2y = 5 What is the solution to the system of equations? A) (4, 3.5) B) (2, 1 2 )) Eliminate C) (2, -1) D) ( 1 2 , 2) Submit

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is B) (2, $\frac{1}{2}$).

Step-by-step explanation:

This system of equations can be solved by elimination, where we add the two equations together to eliminate one of the variables and solve for the remaining variable:

x + 2y = 3

3x - 2y = 5

4x = 8 or x = 2

To solve for 'y', plug in the value of x:  2 + 2y = 3 or 2y = 1 or y = $\frac{1}{2}$

Putting the values into the point (x, y)  = (2, $\frac{1}{2}$)
