Question

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

$12x - y = 25 \\ 9x + y = 17 \\ x = \frac{17 - y}{9} \\ 12( \frac{17 - y}{9} ) - y = 25$

$\frac{204}{9} - \frac{12}{9} y - y = 25 \\ \frac{204}{9} - \frac{21y}{9} = 25 \\ - \frac{21y}{9} = 25 - \frac{204}{9} \\ - \frac{21y}{9} = 2.33 \\ - 21y = 20.997 \\ y = - 0.99$

$y = - 1 \\ x = \frac{17 - y}{9} \\ x = \frac{17 - - 1}{9} = \frac{18}{9} \\ x = 2$
