Question 693009: I have the problem that says. A system of equations is shown below:

Y=7x-5
Y=3^x
Which is a y-value of a solution to the system
a: 2
B:3
C:9
D:16

How would I solve that??????

There is no algebraic way to solve this, but you can plug in each answer choice for x.

Notice that when x = 2 (choice A), y = 3^x becomes y = 3^2 = 9

Also, when x = 2, y = 7x - 5 becomes y = 7(2) - 5 = 14-5 = 9

So when x = 2, y = 9 for both equations.

So the answer is choice C) 9 because they want the y value of the solution.
