Question

Please help! I will give brainliest to person who answers correctly :) Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations? −5x−3y=12 y=x−12 (−6, 6) (0, −4) (1, −11) (3, −9)

Answer 1

Answer:

(3,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

−5x−3y=12 (1)

y=x−12 ....(2)

Put the value of y from equation (2) in equation (1)

−5x−3(x-12)=12

-5x-3x+36 = 12

Taking like terms together

-5x-3x = 12-36

-8x = -24

x = 3

Put the value of x in equation (2)

y=3−12

y = -9

Hence, the solution of the above equations is x = 3 and y = -9 or (3,-9).
