Answer: D. (8, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 --------------(1)

x - y = 12--------------(2)

eqn(2) × 3

3x - 3y = 36-----------(4)

eqn(4) - eqn(1)

-7y = 28

Divide bothside by -7

y = -4

Again, multiply eqn(2) by 4

4x - 4y = 48 ---------------(5)

eqn(5) + eqn(1)

7x = 56

Divide bothside by 7

x = 8

Therefore x=8 and y=-4

STEP 1: Multiply second equation by -3.

After multiplying we have the following system:

3x+4y−3x+3y=8=−36

STEP 2: add the two equations together to eliminate x from the system.

7y=−28

STEP 3: find y

<u>y=−4</u>

<u></u>

STEP 4: substitute the value for y into the original equation to solve for x.

3x+4(−4)=8

<u>x=8</u>

4x = (130 - 2x) so x = 65/3

(3y + 40) + (130 -2x) = 180 because the angles are supplementary

plug in x

3y + 40 + 130 - 2(65/3) = 180

so 3y = 95/3

therefore y = 95/6

Solve the system
konstantin123 [22]
Use substitution. 

y = 2 - x and y = 4x + 7 can become

2 - x = 4x + 7

Now solve for x

-5 = 5x

-1 = x

Now plug -1 for x in either equation.

y = 2 - x -> y = 2 - (-1) -> y = 3
y = 4x + 7 -> y = 4*-1 + 7 -> y = -4 + 7 -> y = 3

So C) is the correct answer.
