Question

Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations ?

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Given the2 equations

y = x + 4 → (1)

x + y = 2 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 4 into (2)

x+ x + 4 = 2

2x + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = - 1 + 4 = 3

solution is (- 1, 3 ) → c
