Find the value of x in the solution to the system of equations shown. y= 12x + 7 y= -6x + 25 a. x = 1 b. x = 1.78 c. x = 3 d. x = 5.33

y= 12x + 7  

y= -6x + 25

set the two equations equal

12x+7 = -6x +25

add 6x to each side

18x + 7 = 25

subtract 7 from each side

18x = 18

divide  by 18

x=1

x=1

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
