Question

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations?

y=32x+6
y=14x−2



(−7, −3.5)

(−7, −4)

(−6.5, −3.5)

(−6, −3)

Answer 1

x=-4/9, y=-74/9.

Explanation:

y=32x+6

y=14x-2

-----------

32x+6=14x-2

32x-14x+6=-2

18x+6=-2

18x=-2-6

18x=-8

x=-8/18

simplify

x=-4/9

y=14(-4/9)-2=-56/9-2=-74/9
