Explanation
Correct answer: A.
Choice A is correct. The solutions to the system correspond to the points where the graphs of the equations intersect. The graphs of the linear equation and the quadratic equation shown intersect at approximately and . It follows that the possible values of are and . Of these two possible values, only is given as a choice.

Why the other choices are wrong
Choice B
Choice B is incorrect. This is the x-value of the vertex of the graph of the quadratic equation, not the x-value of a solution to the system.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect. This is the approximate y-value, not the x-value, of a solution to the system.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect. This is the x-value of an x-intercept of the graph of the quadratic equation.
