(- 2, - 3) is a solution to the given system of equations.
Answer: Option D
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given equation are not presented in proper format. So, let assume the given system of are as below,
2 x - y = -1
2 x -4 y = 8
Now, subtract the second equation from the first, we get
(2 x - y) -(2 x - 4 y) = -1 -8
3 y = -9
y = -3 (obtained this when divide by 3)
Substituting y = - 3 into the first equation, we get
2 x - (-3) = - 1
2 x = - 1 + 3
x = - 2 (obtained when divide by 2)
Now, the answer is (x, y) = (- 2, - 3)
