The system of equations y=2x-1 and y=-1/4x+3 is shown on the graph below. what is a reasonable estimate for the solution?

Something close to (1.8,2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-1

y=-1/4 x+3

Since y=2x-1 and y=-1/4 x +3 then 2x-1=-1/4 x +3.

I'm going to multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction:

8x-4=-x+12

Add x on both sides:

9x-4=12

Add 4 on both sides:

9x=16

Divide both sides by 9:

x=16/9 is approximately 1.8 when put into calculator.

Now if x=16/9 and y=2x-1, then y=2(16/9)-1=32/9-1=32/9-9/9=(32-9)/9=23/9.

y=23/9 is approximately 2.6 when put into calculator.

So we are looking for an ordered pair pretty close to (1.8,2.6).

The graph is shown to you so I will put one here as well:
