Solve the system of equations 2x + 3y = 40 and -2x + 2y = 20 A.x = 10 , y = 20 B. x=-10 , y = 20 C. x = -6 , y = 4 D. x = 2 , y = 12

Answer 1

D is answer

Explanation:

-2x + 2y = 20

2x = 40-3y

so -(40-3y)+2y =20

-40+3y+2y = 20

5y = 60

y = 12

2x = 40-3y

2x = 40-3(12)

2x = 40-36

2x = 4

x = 2

so x = 2 , y = 12
