Question

Which statement about the ordered pair (-6,8) is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for y in one equation

2x + y = -4

y = -4 - 2x

plug y into the other equation

5x + 3y = -6

5x + 3(-4 - 2x) = -6

5x -12 -6x = -6

-x - 12 = -6

-x = 6

x = -6

plug x into the equation to find y

y = -4 - 2x

y = -4 - 2(-6)

y = 8

ordered pair: (-6,8)
