Answer 1

To find the solution for the given system of equations using Jian's table, we need to look for the point where both equations yield the same y-value for the same x-value.

From the table:

For the equation \( y = 2x - 5 \):

• When \( x = 0 \), \( y = -5 \)
• When \( x = 1 \), \( y = -3 \)
• When \( x = 2 \), \( y = -1 \)
• When \( x = 3 \), \( y = 1 \)

For the equation \( y = x - 3 \):

• When \( x = 0 \), \( y = -3 \)
• When \( x = 1 \), \( y = -2 \)
• When \( x = 2 \), \( y = -1 \)
• When \( x = 3 \), \( y = 0 \)

Now, let's compare the y-values for the same x-values:

• For \( x = 0 \): \( y = -5 \) (from \( y = 2x - 5 \)) and \( y = -3 \) (from \( y = x - 3 \)) → Not a solution
• For \( x = 1 \): \( y = -3 \) and \( y = -2 \) → Not a solution
• For \( x = 2 \): \( y = -1 \) and \( y = -1 \) → This is a solution: (2, -1)
• For \( x = 3 \): \( y = 1 \) and \( y = 0 \) → Not a solution

Thus, the solution to the system represented by Jian's table is: (2, -1)

So, the correct response is: (2, −1)
