Question #N96
If $3x + 2y = 10$ and $x - y = 1$, what is the value of $x$?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Correct Answer is: B
We can solve this system of equations using elimination. Multiplying the second equation by 2, we get $2x - 2y = 2$. Adding this equation to the first equation, we get $5x = 12$. Dividing both sides by 5, we get $x = \frac{12}{5}$.
