Question

use the substitution method to slove the system of equations choose the correct ordered pair x+y=11 -x=-y-10​

Answer 1

(10, 1)

Explanation:

-x = -y - 9 has already been solved for -x. Multiply every term of this equation by -1 to obtain x = y + 9.

Now substitute y + 9 for x in the first equation. We get:

(y + 9) + y = 11, or, after combining the y terms, 2y = 2.

Solving for y, we get y = 1.

Subbing 1 for y in the first equation results in: x + 1 = 11.

This yields x = 10.

Thus, the solution is (10, 1).
