Hugo took these steps to solve the system of equations.
2 x minus 3 y = negative 11. 3 x + 2 y = negative 5.
Step 1 4 x minus 6 y = negative 11. 9 x + 6 y = negative 15.
Step 2 13 x = negative 26
Step 3 x = negative 2
Step 4 3 (negative 2) + 2 y = negative 5. Negative 6 + 2 y = negative 5. 2 y = 1. y = one-half.
Step 5 The solution is (Negative 2, one-half).
Is Hugo’s solution to the system of equations correct? Explain why or why not.
Yes, Hugo’s solution is correct.
No, Hugo should have gotten positive 2 in step three.
No, Hugo forgot to multiply both sides of the first equation in step one.
No, Hugo should have subtracted the equations instead of adding them in step 2.
