Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
sum means addition
the problem says sum of -4x and 2 meaning -4x + 2
the word "is" right before 9 means equals 9
If we multiply the bottom equation by 2 and move x to the right, it becomes:
4y = 2x-38
Now we can substitute it for the 4y in the top equation:
3x + (2x-38) = -23 => 5x = -23+38 => 5x = 15 => x=3
Then 4y = 2*3-38 => y = -8
So the solution is (3,-8)
There are 2 methods you are taught in Middle School.
Elimination and Substitution.
A system of linear inequalities in two variables consists of at least two linear inequalities in the same variables. The solution of a linear inequality is the ordered pair that is a solution to all inequalities in the system and the graph of the linear inequality is the graph of all solutions of the system.
