Question

Which system has the same situation below?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the given system of equations.

Given system

x +3y= 10 ----(1)

-2x -2y= 4 ----(2)

From (2):

-2(x +y)= 4

Dividing both sides by -2:

x +y= -2 ----(2)

Thus, options 3 and 4 are incorrect as x +y≠ -2.

(1) -(2):

(x +3y) -(x +y)= 10 -(-2)

Expand:

x +3y -x -y= 10 +2

2y= 12

Divide both sides by 2:

y= 12 ÷2

y= 6

Substitute y= 6 into (2):

x +6= -2

x= -6 -2

x= -8

Options (1) and (2) differs only by the value of the expression of -x +y. Thus, let's find its value in the given system of equations.

-x +y

= -(-8) +6

= 8 +6

= 14

Thus, option 2 is the correct option.
