Question

Which ordered pair is the solution to this system of equations? * y = 2x - 3 y= 7 - 0.5x

A. (0,5)
B.(4,0)
C. (4,5)
D. (5,4)​

Answer 1

The solution to the system of equations is (4, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system of equations, we need to solve the equations simultaneously.

First, let's set the two equations equal to each other:

2x - 3 = 7 - 0.5x

Combine like terms:

2.5x - 3 = 7

Add 3 to both sides:

2.5x = 10

Divide both sides by 2.5:

x = 4

Now substitute x = 4 into one of the original equations to find y:

y = 2(4) - 3 = 5

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (4, 5).
