Question #N772
If $3x + 2y = 11$ and $x - y = 2$, what is the value of $x$?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Correct Answer is: C
To solve for $x$, we can use elimination. Multiplying the second equation by 2, we get $2x - 2y = 4$. Adding this equation to the first equation, we get $5x = 15$. Dividing both sides by 5, we find $x = 3$.
