Answer:
A.) x-y=2 and x+2y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
For option A, we have:
x-y=2
x+2y=-2
Subtract the first equation from the second, to get:
2y--y=-2-2
This implies that:
2y+y=-2-2
Simplify to get:
3y=-4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
We substitute y=-1.3 into the first equation to get:
x--1.3=2
x+1.3=2
x=2-1.3
x=0.7
The solution is (0.7,-1.3), which is approximately (0.7, -1.4)
By inspection, all the other factors have solutions not close to (0.7, -1.4)
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
1: Solve for either x or y in one of the equations. So x + y = -1 is y = -x -1
2: substitute the new equation in the opposite equation. So x - (-x - 1) = 7
3: distribute the negative. X + x + 1 = 7
4: combine like terms. 2x + 1 = 7
5: solve for x. Subtract 1 on both sides. 2x = 6
6: divide by 2 to get x by itself. X = 3
7: plug the new value of x into one of the ORIGINAL equations. 3 + y = -1
8: solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides.
Y = -4
9: the solution is written as (x,y) so the solution would be (3, -4)
