Final answer:

The provided system of equations contains errors and cannot be solved directly. Instead, a step-by-step example of solving a system of correct linear equations was provided, resulting in an ordered pair solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which ordered pair is a solution to a system of linear equations. On closer inspection, it seems there are typographical errors in the reproduction of the equations; therefore, we cannot directly solve them. However, we can demonstrate the process of finding a solution to a system of linear equations with an example. Let's use the following two linear equations as an example:

  • y = 2x - 1
  • y = -3x + 9

To find a solution, we would set the two equations equal to each other since they both equal y:

2x - 1 = -3x + 9

Now, we solve for x:

2x + 3x = 9 + 1

5x = 10

x = 2

Next, substitute x back into one of the original equations to find y:

y = 2(2) - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is the ordered pair (2, 3).
