Question

8. which of the following ordered pairs is a solution of the given system of linear equations

answer choices and question are in picture thank you so much!

Answer 1

Option D The solution of the system is the point (-3,5)

Explanation:

we have

x+y=2 -----> equation A

y=-2x-1 ------> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+(-2x-1)=2

-x-1=2

x=-2-1

x=-3

Find the value of y

y=-2x-1

y=-2(-3)-1

y=5

therefore

The solution of the system is the point (-3,5)
