Question

Choose the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as the one given below 4x-y=-11 2x+3y=5

Answer 1

Answer: x = -2 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-y=-11

2x+3y=5

Solve 4x-y=-11 for y

Add -4x to both sides

4x-y+-4x=-11+-4x

-y=-4x-11

Divide both sides by -1

-y/-1=-4x-11/-1

y=4x+11

Substitute 4x+11 for y in 2x +3y=5

2x+3y=5

2x+3(4x+11)=5

Simplify both sides of the equation

14x+33=5

Add -33 to both sides

14x+33+-33=5+-33

14x=-28

Divide both sides by 14

14x/14=-28/14

x=-2

Substitute -2 for x in y= 4x+11

y=4x+11

y=(4)(-2)+11

Simplify both sides of the equation

y=3
