Question:

Solution:

Consider the following system of linear equations:

Equation 1:

Equation 2:

Replacing the above equation into equation 1, we get:

Applying the distributive property, we get:

this is equivalent to:

this is equivalent to:

$-23y=\text{ -115}$

or

$23y=\text{ 115}$

solving for y, we obtain:

Now, replacing this into Equation 2, we obtain:

So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

The solution is (-3, 5)
