3 + 4 = 7
84 ÷ 7 = 12 = 1 (in terms of the ratio)
12 × 3 = 36, which is the answer

Answer:
b. (-1, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the first equation is already solved for y, we can use substitution.
Substitute y in the second equation with 3x + 8.
5x + 2y = 5
5x + 2(3x + 8) = 5
5x + 6x + 16 = 5
11x = -11
x = -11/11
x = -1
Now substitute x in the first original equation by -1 and solve for y.
y = 3x + 8
y = 3(-1) + 8
y = -3 + 8
y = 5
Answer: (-1, 5)
