Which is the best approximation for the solution of the system of equations? y = x + 1 y = 3x – 2

a. (0.45, 0.88)
b. (0.88, 0.65)
c. (0.88, 1.1)
d. (1.3, 0.88)

The given equations are  y = x + 1and y = 3x – 2

Substituting y value in equation 1 from 2 we have :

3x-2=x+1

Subtracting x both sides

3x-x-2=1

2x-2=1.

Adding 2 both sides

2x=3

Dividing by 2

x=1.5.

Substituting x value in y=x+1

y=1.5+1.

y=2.5.

Solution is (1.5,2.5)

The approximate solution  is B. (0.88, 0.65)

i believe the correct answer is b.

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
