Question

use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.choose the correct ordered pair. -3y=x-5 x+5y=7. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

B. (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3y=x-5&\text{subtract x from both sides}\\x+5y=7\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-x-3y=-5\\x+5y=7\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad2y=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\.\qquad\qquad y=1\\\\\text{Put the value of y to the second equation:}\\x+5(1)=7\\x+5=7\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\x=2$
