Question

Please provide steps. I have a test soon.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 5x+15y=30

5x-5y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we solve the top equations by addition.  Multiply the first one by -4.

-4x-12y=-24

4x-8y=4

This equals -20y=-20, so y=1.  Now we put that back into either equation and find that x=3.  So the solution set is (3,1)

Plugging those into each of the possible choices, we find that the answer is

B) 5x+15y=30.   5(3)+15(1)=30 15+15=30.   30=30 CHECK

5x-5y=10     5(3)-5(1)=10.  15-5=10.    10=10. CHECK
