Answer:
The answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate y:
7x + y = 25 – 6x + y = 23: 7x – 6x = x; y – y = 0; 25 – 23 = 2
x = 2
You could also solve one equation for y and substitute that value in for y in the other equation:
6x + y = 23 → y = 23 – 6x.
7x + y = 25 → 7x + (23 – 6x) = 25 → x + 23 = 25 → x = 2
