Question

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair.

4x - 2y = -2
6x + 3y = 27
A. (2,5)
B. (3,7)
C. (0, -1)
D. (0,9)

Answer 1

(2,5)

Explanation:

4x - 2y = -2

6x + 3y = 27

Divide the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3

2x - y = -1

2x + y = 9

Add the equations together

2x - y = -1

2x + y = 9

-------------------

4x = 8

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 8/2

x =2

2x+y = 9

2(2) +y = 9

4+u = 9

y = 9-4

y=5

(2,5)
