Question

Solve the system of equations.

y = x + 2
x = −3

Group of answer choices

x = 5

x = -3

x = 1

x = -7

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations:

1. The first equation is:
\[
y = x + 2
\]

2. The second equation is:
\[
x = -3
\]

Since we already have the value of \(x\) from the second equation, we can substitute it into the first equation to find \(y\).

Now, substituting \(x = -3\) into the first equation:
\[
y = -3 + 2
\]
\[
y = -1
\]

So, the solution to the system of equations is:
\[
(x, y) = (-3, -1)
\]

Among the answer choices provided (x = 5, x = -3, x = 1, x = -7), the correct choice is:
\[
\boxed{x = -3}
\]
