The graph below shows a system of equations. The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is class=

Verified Answer :

the answer is -2
3y=-2x+2
y=x+4
when x=-2, 3 (-2)=6=-2(-2)+2=6 (3y=-2x+2 vrified)
when x=-2  2=-2+4=2  (y=x+4 verified)


Answer:

The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations are,

\(y=x+4\)   ---------------------1

\(3y=-2x+2\)   ----------------2

The solution i.e intersection of these two lines can be found out by solving the system of equations.

Putting the value of y from equation 1 in equation 2, we get

\(\Rightarrow 3(x+4)=-2x+2\)

\(\Rightarrow 3x+12=-2x+2\)

\(\Rightarrow 3x+2x=2-12\)

\(\Rightarrow 5x=-10\)

\(\Rightarrow x=-2\)

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is -2.
