Question 2 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

What is the solution of 3x + 5 = 2x – 7?

Answer
A
the x-coordinates of the intersection point of the lines y = 3x + 5 and y = 2x – 7
B
the x-coordinates of the x-intercepts of the lines y = 3x + 5 and y = 2x – 7
C
the y-coordinate of the intersection point of the lines y = 3x + 5 and y = 2x – 7
D
the y-coordinates of the y-intercepts of the lines y = 3x + 5 and y = 2x – 7

Explanation

The equation sets the two line expressions equal: 3x + 5 = 2x − 7. The x-value that makes them equal is the x-coordinate where the lines y = 3x + 5 and y = 2x − 7 intersect. Solving gives x = −12, so the solution is the x-coordinate of their intersection point: choice A.
