Question

1 What is the solution to the system of equations? (2 Points) x + y = 8 and - x + 3y = 4 O a. (-2, 10) O b. (10,-2) c. (3,5) O d. (53)​

Answer 1

(5 , 3)

Explanation:

x + y = 8 ----------------(I)

-x + 3y = 4 ----------(II)

Add equation (I) and (II) and so x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y

(I) x + y = 8

(II) -x + 3y = 4

4y = 12 {Divide both sides by 4}

y = 12/4

y = 3

Plugin y = 3 inn equation (I)

x + 3 = 8 {Subtract 3 from both sides}

x = 8 -3

x = 5
