Answer: A

Hope this is helpful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to solve using simultaneous equations with each answer given.  

x + 2y = 5  

x = 5 - 2y  

Plug this into each equation  

A 2(5 - 2y) + 4y = 3  

10 - 4y + 4y = 3  

10 = 3 in consistent  

B 5(5 - 2y) + 2y = 3  

25 - 10 y + 2y = 3  

25 - 8y = 3  

8y = 22  

y = 2.75  

Using original equation solve for x  

5x + 2(2.75) = 3  

5x + 5.5 = 3  

5x = -2.5  

x = -0.5  

Using original equation,  

(-0.5) + 2 (2.75) = 5  

-0.5 + 5.5 = 5 consistent  

C 6x + 12y = 30  

6(5 - 2y) + 12y = 30  

30 - 12y + 12 y = 30 consistent for every value of y  

D 3(5 - 2y) + 4y = 8  

15 - 6y + 4y = 8  

- 2y = -7  

y = 3.5  

x = 5 - 2y  

x = 5 - 7  

x = -2  

Solving for x  

3(-2) + 4(3.5) = -6 + 14 = 8 consistent  

So A is the correct answer

galina1969 [7]
In case you want the working out -
You will want to put all these fractions over the same denominator, the lowest common multiple is 180
-2/9
180/9 = 20
20 x -2 = -40/180

A
-7/12
180/12 = 15
15 x -7 = -105/180

B -1/15
180/15 = 12
12 x -1 = -12/180

C -1/3
180/3 = 60
60 x -1 = -60/180

D
-1/9
180/9 = 20
20 x -1 = -20/180

-105 < -60 < -40 < -20 < -12

   A   <  C  <   x   <  D   <  B
