In a rectangular coordinate system, the line 3y=x intersects the line 2x+5y=11 at point A. What is the sum of the coordinates of point A?
Substitute and solve for x and y:
2(3y) + 5y = 11
6y + 5y = 11
y = 1
Plug back in:
2x + 5(1) = 11
2x + 5 = 11
2s = 6
x = 3

Coordinate of Point A: (3, 1)
Answer = 3 + 1 = ???
