Question

Pretest: Unit 5 Question 12 of 21 Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. y = -2x+11 Y = -3x+21​

Answer 1

Answer:

(10, - 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 2x + 11 → (1)

y = - 3x + 21 → (2)

Substitute y = - 2x + 11 into (2)

- 2x + 11 = - 3x + 21 ( add 3x to both sides )

x + 11 = 21 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

x = 10

Substitute x = 10 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate fir y

Substituting into (1)

y = - 2(10) + 11 = - 20 + 11 = - 9

solution is (10, - 9 )
