The tables above represent data points for two linear equations. If the two equations form a system, what is the x-coordinate of the solution to that system ?

A

4

B

6

C

8

D

-4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In the table for Equation 1, the x-values increase by 2 each time and the y-values decrease by 2. In the table for Equation 2, the x-values increase by 4 each time and the y-values increase by 1. Use these patterns to continue the tables.

The point `(8, -4)` satisfies both equations, so the x-cordinate of the solution to the system is 8.
