ANSWER
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1.
EXPLANATION
The given equations are:
y = -x - 2
and
y = 2x - 5.
We want to find the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations.
We equate the two equations to obtain an equation in x.
This implies that,
2x-5=-x-2
Group similar terms to obtain:
2x+x=-2+5
Simplify
3x=3
Divide both sides by 3.
x=1
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1
