Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Set the two equations equal.

Set $1.5x - 1=1$.

Step2: Solve for x.

Add 1 to both sides: $1.5x=1 + 1=2$. Then divide both sides by 1.5, so $x=\frac{2}{1.5}=\frac{4}{3}\approx1.33$.

Answer:

$(1.33, 1)$
