Question

Solve the system of equations below using substitution.

y= 6x - 11
2x + 3y = 7
What's the solution of the system?
O A.(-2.-1)
O B.(-1,-2)
O C. (2,1)
O D. (1.2)

Answer 1

The correct option is C. (2, 1).

Given equations:

y = 6x - 11

2x + 3y = 7

We'll start by solving equation 1) for y:

y = 6x - 11

Now, substitute this value of y into equation 2):

2x + 3(6x - 11) = 7

Simplify the equation:

2x + 18x - 33 = 7

20x - 33 = 7

Add 33 to both sides:

20x = 40

Divide both sides by 20:

x = 2

Now, substitute the value of x back into equation 1) to find y:

y = 6(2) - 11

y = 12 - 11

y = 1

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (2, 1).
