-x + 5y = 8

multiply this equation by 3

-3x + 15y = 24

now add it to the other equation  ( elimination)

-3x + 15y = 24

3x + 7y = -2

-----------------------

0x  + 22 y = 22

divide each side by 22

y =1


substitute into -x + 5y =8  to find x

-x + 5(1) = 8

-x + 5 = 8

-x =3

divide by -1

x =-3

Answer (-3,1)

Choice A

value=rate times number of peple

student value=4s
adults value=10a
total value=1950
4s+10a=1950



a. system of equations are
s+a=300
4s+10a=1950



b. solve

s+a=300
4s+10a=1950

a+s=300
multiply by -4
-4s-4a=-1200
add to other eqaution

4s+10a=1950
<u>-4s-4a=-1200  + </u>
0s+6a=750

6a=750
divide 6
a=125


subsiute
s+a=300
s+125=300
