Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x + 8..... (1)
y= 3x - 11..... (2)
y - x = 8..... (3)
y - 3x = -11..... (4)
eliminating x:
(3) × 3: 3y - 3x = 24 ........ (5)
(4) × 1: y - 3x = -11 ......... (6)
(5) - (6): 2y = 35
Divide both sides by 2, therefore, y = 17.5
substitute the value of y into (3)
y - x = 8
17.5 - x = 8
17.5 - 8 = x
9.5 = x
