Answer:

  • A. (6.8, 2.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

System as per the graphed lines:

  • y = 1/6x + 1
  • 3x - 2y = 16

The are two solutions.

Solution 1

  • Take the coordinates of the intersection point and compare with the answer choices.
  • This is the point with x-coordinate close to 7 and y-coordinate close to 2. The best choice is A.

Solution 2

Solve by substitution.

Substitute y into second equation:

  • 3x - 2(1/6x + 1) = 16
  • 3x - 1/3x - 2 = 16
  • 8/3x = 18
  • x = 18*3/8
  • x = 6.75

Find y:

  • y = 1/6x + 1
  • y = 1/6(6.75) + 1
  • y = 2.125

The best estimate is x = 6.8 and y = 2.1

Correct choice is A
