Question

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

Answer:

( - 1 , - 1 )

Option D is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 2x - 3 → Equation ( i )

y = 3x + 2 → Equation ( ii )

Using elimination method

y + 2x = - 3

y - 3x = 2

---------------------

5x = - 5

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{ - 5}{5}$

Calculate

$x = - 1$

Again, Putting the value of x in equation ( ii ) in order t get the value of y

$y = 3x + 2$

plug the value of x

$= 3 \times ( - 1) + 2$

Any expression multiplied by ( - 1 ) equals it's opposite

$= - 3 + 2$

Calculate

$= - 1$

Therefore, The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

$(x \:, y \: ) = ( - 1 \:, - 1)$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation

$- 1 = - 2 \times ( - 1) - 3$

$- 1 = 3 \times ( - 1) + 2$

Simplify the equation

$- 1 = - 1$

$- 1 = - 1$

Since all the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

( x , y ) = ( - 1 , - 1 )

Hope this helps..
