Question

3x - 8y = 29

3x + y = -2
Question 4 options:


(0.5, -3.5)


(0, -2)


(0.75, -2.25)


(0, -3.75)

Answer 1

The best estimate for the solution is the point (0.5,-3.5)

Explanation:

we have

-----> equation A

-----> equation B

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

Using a graphing tool

The intersection point is

see the attached figure

therefore

The solution of the system of equations is the point

The best estimate for the solution is the point
