Which is the best approximation for the solution of the system of equations? y is equal to negative 2 fifths x plus 1 y is equal to 3 x minus 2

At the intersection, the two expressions for y are equal: −0.4x + 1 = 3x − 2. Solving gives 3 = 3.4x, so x is about 0.88. Substituting into y = 3x − 2 gives y about 0.65, so the best approximation is 0.88, 0.65.
