Answer 1

Answer:

The intersection point is (-0.5, -1).

So the x-coordinate is -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the elimination method:

2.4x - 1.5y = 0.3

1.6x + 0.5y = -1.3      Multiply this equation by 3:

4.8x + 1.5y = -3.9     Add this equation to the first one:

7.2x  =  -3.6            - note we eliminate the terms in y.

x = -3.6 / 7.2

x = -0.5.

Now plug this into the first equation:

2.4(-0.5) - 1.5y = 0.3

-1.5y = 0.3 + 2.4*0.5

-1.5y = 1.5

y = -1.
