Answer:

Explanation:

A. 2x = -6

x = -3

3 + y = 5

y = 2

(-3, 2)

-9 - 2 = -11

-11 = -11

3 + 2 = 5

5 = 5

B. 4x + 2y = 1

6x + 4y = 1

-8x - 4y = -2

6x + 4y = 1

-2x = -1

x = 1/2

4(1/2) + 2y = 1

2 + 2y = 1

2y = -1

y = -1/2

-2(-1/2) + 3 = 4(1/2) + 2

1 + 3 = 2 + 2

4 = 4

6(1/2) + 4(-1/2) = 1

3 - 2 = 1

1 = 1

C.

-x + 32y = -25

4x + 8y = 100

-4x + 128y = -100

136y = 0

y = 0

-x = -25

x = 25

(25, 0)

32(0) - 25= -25

-25= -25

5(25) = 100 + 25 - 8(0)

125 = 125

D.

3x + 2y = 6

4x + 5y = -20

-12x - 8y = -24

12x + 15y = -60

7y = -84

y = -12

2(-12) + 3x = 6

-24 + 3x = 6

3x = 30

x = 10

(10, -12)

2(-12) + 3(10) = 6

-24 + 30 = 6

6 = 6

4(10) + 5(-12) + 20 = 0

40 - 60 + 20 = 0

-20 + 20 = 0

0 = 0
