What is the solution of the system of linear equations shown below?

a) x= -2
b) x= -5/3
c) x= -3/2
d) x= -1

Answer 1

wait those are the choices lol. the equations are

y=2x-1
y=3x+5

Answer 2

The way to find the x-value is by setting the two equations equal to each other.
So:
2x-1=3x+5
now we solve for x.

Answer 3

@BTaylor i dont know how to find the solution set

Answer 4

How would you solve for x with that equation?

Answer 5

Subtract 2x from -3x and add 1 to 5?
