Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x - 5y = 18 → (1)
3x - 2y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term
12x - 15y = 54 → (3)
- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is
- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
4x - 5(- 2) = 18
4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
solution is (2, - 2 ) → D

Step-by-step explanation:
Caroline is taking test worth 40 points that has 5 points per question. If she got 2 questions wrong, she would have a score of `30.
2 × 5 = 10
40 - 10 = 30
If Caroline got x questions wrong, she would have a score of 40 - 5x.
