Answer:
5 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry, I know the answer, but don't know how to explain in words
This equation has an infinite number of solutions, so it will be categorized as an identity.
To find the solution, we use the substitution method.
x+y=-1
<span>x-3y=11
</span>
x+y = -1-y
-y
x = -1-y
Now apply the value of x into the other equation.
x-3y=11
-1-y-3y = 11
Combine like terms
-4y -1 = 11
+1 +1
-4y = 12
-4y = 12
-4y/-4 = 12/-4
y = -3
Now, apply the value of Y to one equation to find x.
y = -3
x -3 = -1
+3 +3
x= 2
Now we have the value for both, x and y.
x = 2
y =-3
Final answer: A. <span>(2, −3)</span>
