Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below?

y=-X+2 and 3y = -x-6
O no solution
O infinitely many solutions
O16, 6)
O (-16, -2)

Answer 1

(6,-4)

Explanation:

Solve for x:

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

-3x+6=-x-6

-6 -6

-3x=-x-12

+x +x

-2x=-12x

/-2 /-2

x=6

Solve for y:

y=-(6)+2

y=-4
