A system of equations is shown. 2x + 2y = 17 4x - y = 25 what is the x-value of the solution to the system of equations

x=6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have to do is you have to eliminate y. So you need to make y cancel each other out.

2x+2y=17. I can multiply 2 to the second equation to cancel the y's out.

8x-2y=50.

10x=67.

x=67/10 or 6.7.
