Question

Pls answer correctly

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct answer from the list of options.


x + y = −3

y = 2x + 2

Answer 1

x=-5/3

y=-4/3

Explanation:

Given:

x+y=-3

y=2x+2

Substitute y into the first equation

x+2x+2=-3

combine like terms

3x+2=-3

subtract 2 from both sides

3x=-5

divide both sides by 3

x=-5/3

Substitute in x for the second equation:

y=2(-5/3)+2

y= -4/3

Hope this helps! :)
