Question

Solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

  (2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, the equations are supposed to be ...

• 4x +y = 5
• 3x +y = 3

The solution for x can be found by subtracting the second equation from the first:

  (4x +y) -(3x +y) = (5) -(3)

  x = 2 . . . . . . . matches the second answer choice

Y can be found from either equation:

  y = 5 - 4x . . . . . subtract 4x from the first equation

  y = 5 -4(2) = -3

The solution is (x, y) = (2, -3).
