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: Substitute y=1 into first equation

$1 = 1.5x - 1$

Step2: Isolate the term with x

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

Step3: Solve for x

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

Answer:

(1.33, 1)
