Answer:

(- 2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 1 → (1)

2y - x = 8 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term

(x - x) + (y + 2y) = (1 + 8), that is

3y = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting y = 3 in (1)

x + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 2

Solution is (- 2, 3 )

The answer is a. Because when word phrases say “a number”, they are referring to the variable. For instance, x is the variable so x is “a number”.
