Given:
The system of equations is:
Line A:
Line B:
To find:
The solution of given system of equations.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii), we get
Divide both sides by 2.
Substituting in (i), we get
The solution of system of equations is (-4,-8).
Now verify the solution by substituting in the given equations.
This statement is true.
Similarly,
This statement is also true.
Therefore, (-4,-8) is a solution of the given system of equations, because the point satisfies both equations. Hence, the correct option is C.
Eighths and their multiples are common fractions which I recommend memorizing, but to actually solve this, you use the literal meaning of a fraction and divide 5 by 8. See the long-division below (it was surprisingly difficult to type, so I hope it helps!).
To round 0.625 to the nearest hundredth, we go to the second decimal place, which is 5, so we round up to 0.63.
