Answer:

  D.  (-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.

Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):

  x = y -1  ⇒  -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False

Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):

  x = y -1  ⇒  -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True

  2x = 3y  ⇒  2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True

The solution is (-3, -2).

__

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.

  2(y -1) = 3y

  2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses

  -2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y

  x = -2 -1 = -3

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

If you know anything about combining equations, specifically subtracting, can you please help me :)
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

5x - 2y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

When subtracting one equation from the other, we are essentially just subtracting the left side of the second equation from the left side of the first equation and doing the same thing with the two right sides.

Here, we are subtracting (-7x + 3y) from (-2x + y):

(-2x + y) - (-7x + 3y)

Let's get rid of these parentheses. Remember that when we have a subtraction sign before a parentheses, we need to distribute a -1 to each term within those parentheses:

(-2x + y) - (-7x + 3y) = -2x + y + 7x - 3y = -2x + 7x + y - 3y = 5x - 2y

Now on the right side, we're subtracting 2 from 0:

0 - 2 = -2

Put it all together:

5x - 2y = -2

Hope this helps!
