Question

Which ordered pair is the solution to this system of equations

Answer 1

Answer: (-1, 3)

Explanation:

x = -1

y = 3

3 = -1 + 4

-1 + 3 = 2

Answer 2

(-1, 3)

Explanation:

One way to solve this is to simply plug the points into the equations, and see if both equations hold true.

(1, 5)

5 = 1 + 4 is true

However

1 + 5 = 2 is not true, therefore this isn't the answer.

(0, 2)

2 = 0 + 4 isn't true so we can move on to the next point.

(-1, 3)

3 = -1 + 4 is true

and

-1 + 3 = 2 is also true

Therefore, (-1, 3) is the answer.
