Question

which is the best approximate solution of the system of linear equations ( y = 1.5x - 1 ) and ( y = 1 )? ( \bigcirc (0.33, 1) ) ( \bigcirc (1.33, 1) ) ( \bigcirc (1.83, 1) ) ( \bigcirc (2.33, 1) )

Explanation:

Step1: Set equations equal

Set $1.5x - 1 = 1$

Step2: Isolate x term

$1.5x = 1 + 1$
$1.5x = 2$

Step3: Solve for x

$x = \frac{2}{1.5} \approx 1.33$

Answer:

B. (1.33, 1)
