Question

A system of equations is shown below. Which ordered pair represents the solution to the system

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is (-5,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Both of the equations are in standard form, so first you set them equal to each other.

2. Solve for x as a normal algebraic equation.

3. Back substitute your answer for x into one of the original equations. (back substitution is just putting the x back into the equation and solving for y.)

4. Now you have your x and y coordinates, and the point of intersection of the two lines.
