Question

which point is a solution to the system y = 2x + 1 and y = 5? (2,5) (0,0) (3,7) (1,3)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute y = 5 into first equation

Since \(y = 5\) and \(y=2x + 1\), we have \(5=2x + 1\).

Step2: Solve for x

Subtract 1 from both sides: \(5-1=2x\), so \(4 = 2x\). Then divide both sides by 2, \(x=\frac{4}{2}=2\).

Answer:

A. \((2,5)\)
