<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:
and
To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:
We add equations (2) and (3).
Divide both sides by 23
Put x=4 into equation (1).
The solution is (4,12)
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1
You just have to plot each point on the graph.
The one that falls within the solution region is the correct choice.
From the graph, falls within the solution region.
See graph
Method 2
If you substitute the points into the inequalities, the only point that will satisfy both inequalities simultaneously is A.
The first inequality is
If we substitute , we get;
This statement is true.
The second inequality is
If we substitute , we get;
This gives,
This statement is also true.
