3x + 4y = 18
2x - 4y = 17
The solution to the given system of equations is (x, y). What is the value of x ?
Solution
Correct answer: 7.
We can solve the system of equations by elimination.
Steps to solve:
1. Add the top and bottom equations together:
3x + 4y = 18
+2x − 4y = 17
5x = 35
2. Divide both sides by 5:
x = 7
