Question

Consider the following set of equations:

Equation A: y = 2x + 4
Equation B: y = 3x + 1

Which of the following is a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations?

2x + 4 = 3x + 1

2x = 3x + 4

2x + 4 = 3x

2x + 1 = 3x + 4

Answer 1

As the lhs is same in both the cases.... I.e. Y, they can be equated that is 2x +4 = 3x+1

Answer 2

As the lhs is same in both the cases.... I.e. Y, they can be equated that is 2x +4 = 3x+1

Answer 3
