Question

Solve the system of equations. 2.5y + 3x = 27 5x – 2.5y = 5 What equation is the result of adding the two equations? –8x = 328x = 325y + 8x = 328x – 5y = 32 What is the solution to the system? (–4, 6)(–2.75, 8.6)(2.75, 3.5)(4, 6)

Answer 1

8x=32

(4,6)

Explanation:

Answer 2

a) The result of adding the two equations is
.. (2.5y +3x) +(5x -2.5y) = (27) +(5)
.. 8x = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . your 2nd selection

b) The solution to the system is (4, 6), your 4th selection.
.. This is the only choice with x=4, the solution to part (a).
