Question

I will mark you brainliest!!!! Which ordered pair is the best approximation of the solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute y = 2x + 1 in the second equation

2x + 1 = -7x + 8

Add 7x to both sides

9x + 1 = 8

Subtact 1 from both sides

9x = 7

x = 7/9

Substituing x in the first equation

y = 14/9 + 1

x rounds to 0.8

y rounds to 2.5
