What is the x-coordinate of the solution of the following system of equations?

3x + y = 6
x - y = 6

-3
0
3

The easiest way to solve this is by elimination. 

3x - y = 6 

6x + y = 21

Since you have a negative and positive y with the same coefficients (1), they cancel, and you add the other terms so it would look like:

9x = 27 

Then solving for x leaves you with x = 3 

Then you take the x value of three and plug it into to either of the equations, so 

3(3) - y = 6

9 - y = 6 

subtracting 9 

-y = -3 

then dividing by -1 

y = 3 

so the solution is x = 3 y = 3 or (3,3)

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
