A system of equations is shown below: 3x − y = 2 x + y = 6 The x-coordinate of the solution to this system of equations is _____.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore the x-coordinate of the solution to this system is 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation is

      3x-y=6............(1)

and 2x+y=6...........(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2)

3x -y+2x-y=6+6

⇔5x =12

[tex]\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

⇔x = 2.4

Putting the value of x in equation (1)

3×2.4 - y =6

⇔7.2 -y = 6

⇔y = 7.2-6

⇔y=1.2

Therefore the x-coordinate of the solution to this system is 2.4.
