Question

Y= x + 4

2x+3y= -13

What is the solution to the system of equations?

A. (-6, -2)

B. (-5, -1)

C. (1,5)

D. (2,6)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Simplifying

2x + 4y = 13

Solving

2x + 4y = 13

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.

2x + 4y + -4y = 13 + -4y

Combine like terms: 4y + -4y = 0

2x + 0 = 13 + -4y

2x = 13 + -4y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 6.5 + -2y

Simplifying

x = 6.5 + -2y
