Determine the intersection of x=3x = 3 and y=2x1y = 2x - 1.

A

(3,5)(3, 5)

B

(3,2)(3, 2)

C

(5,3)(5, 3)

D

(2,3)(2, 3)

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Substitution.

  1. x is known: x=3x = 3.
  2. Find y: y=2(3)1=5y = 2(3) - 1 = 5.
  3. Point: (3,5)(3, 5).

💡 Strategic Tip: If one equation is x=kx=k, just plug it in!

Choice B is incorrect because calculation error. Choice C is incorrect because swapped. Choice D is incorrect.
