Answer:
The intersection point is (-0.5, -1).
So the x-coordinate is -0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the elimination method:
2.4x - 1.5y = 0.3
1.6x + 0.5y = -1.3 Multiply this equation by 3:
4.8x + 1.5y = -3.9 Add this equation to the first one:
7.2x = -3.6 - note we eliminate the terms in y.
x = -3.6 / 7.2
x = -0.5.
Now plug this into the first equation:
2.4(-0.5) - 1.5y = 0.3
-1.5y = 0.3 + 2.4*0.5
-1.5y = 1.5
y = -1.
