Question

Which of the following points is the solution to the following system of equations?

y = 2x-6
y = -5x+8
(1 point)
O (2, 2)
O
2 14
3
P
O (2,-2)

Answer 1

x = 2

y = -2

Explanation:

a) y = 2x - 6

b) y = -5x + 8

2x - 6 = -5x + 8

2x + 5x = 8 + 6

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2

a) 2(2) -6 = -2
