Answer:

Explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question,

"Which system of equations has a solution of approximately (0.7, -1.4)?"

A). x - y = 2 and x + 2y = -2

B). x - 2y = -2 and x + y = 2

C). x - y = 2 and x - 2y = -2

D). x + y = 2 and x + 2y = -2

"If the given point (0.7, -1.4) is the solution of the system of equations, it will satisfy both the equations"

To check whether the statement given above is true or false we will substitute the values of x and y in the given equations,

A). x - y = 2

0.7 - (-1.4) = 2.1

≈ 2

x + 2y = -2

0.7 + 2(-1.4) = -2.1

≈ -2

True.

B). x - 2y = -2

0.7 - 2(-1.4) = 3.5

x + y = 2

0.7 - 1.4 = -0.7

False.

C). x - y = 2

0.7 - (-1.4) = 2.1 ≈ 2

x - 2y = -2

0.7 - 2(-1.4) = 3.5

False.

D). x + y = 2

0.7 - 1.4 = -0.7

x + 2y = -2

0.7 + 2(1.4) = 3.5

False.
