Question

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

Answer 1

Answer:

(3, 2) is the ordered pair for the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 x+ y = 8.......................(i)

y = - x + 5........................(ii)

Put y = - x + 5 in equation (i)-

2 x + ( - x+ 5) = 8

2 x - x + 5 = 8

x = 8 - 5

x = 3

Now put x = 3 in equation (ii)-

y = - 3 + 5

y = 2

Hence the (3, 2) is the correct ordered pair.
