Question

Solve the system of equations. (1 point) 5x + y = 9 3x + 2y = 4 (−2, 5) (1, 4) (2, −1) (4, −4)

Answer 1

The answer would be (2,-1)

I took the test and got it right!

Answer 2

Heyo, the answer is (2,-1).

5x+y=9

3x+2y=4

I went ahead and multiplied the first equation by -2(so I can get rid of the y's)

-10x-2y=-18

3x+2y=4

Just simply add now

-7x=-14

Divide by -7 to get x by itself

x=2
