Q. y3x+y=2x=20The given system of equations has solution (x,y). What is the value of x ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 4(B) 5(C) 8(D) 20
Write Equations: Write down the given system of equations.We have the system of equations:1) y=2x2) 3x+y=20
Substitute and Simplify: Substitute the expression for y from the first equation into the second equation.From equation 1) we have y=2x. We can substitute this into equation 2) to get:3x+2x=20
Solve for x: Combine like terms and solve for x.3x+2x=205x=20Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:x=520x=4
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting x back into the original equations.Substitute x=4 into the first equation:y=2xy=2(4)y=8Now substitute x=4 and y=8 into the second equation:3x+y=203(4)+8=2012+8=20x=40The left side equals the right side, so the solution x=4 is correct.
