The answer would have to be c. When factoring, the two numbers have to multiply to give you -8 but add to give you -2. The correct factored answer would have been (x-4) (x+2) =0

Solve the system of equations.​
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x = 10, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the second equation into the x value of the first equation.

-4x + 11y = 15

-4(2y) + 11y = 15

-8y + 11y = 15

3y = 15

y = 5

Now substitute the y value into an original equation.

x = 2y

x = 2(5)

x = 10
