Answer:

B.
(7, 10,5)

Explanation:

{y = 2x - 3,5

{x -2y = −14

x - 2[2x - 3,5] = −14

x - 4x + 7 = −14

−3x + 7 = −14

- 7 - 7

__________

−3x = −21

___ ___

3 −3


x = 7 [Plug this back into both equations above to get the y-coordinate of 10,5];
10(1)/(2) = y

* 10½ = 10,5

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
