SSC CGL - 15 Sep 2025 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

Solve system: y = 2x + 1 and y = -x + 4 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (1, 3).

y = 2x + 1

y = −x + 4

Since both equal y, set them equal:

⇒ 2x + 1 = −x + 4

⇒ 3x = 3

⇒ x = 1

Now substitute in y = 2x + 1:

⇒ y = 2(1) + 1

⇒ y = 3

x = 1, y = 3
