What is the solution for r in the following system of equations?<br> 2x + 3y = 16<br> 2 + 2y = 10
klio [65]

Answer:

(2,4)

*View attached graph*

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 16

2 + 2y = 10

2 + 2y = 10

-2          - 2

2y = 8

/2  /2

y = 4

2x + 3y = 16

2x + 3(4) = 16

2x + 12 = 16

    - 12   - 12

2x = 4

/2   /2

x = 2

(x,y) -> (2,4)

Hope this helps!
