Question

Pls help!!

y = x + 2
2x - y = -4
Solve the system of equations using substitution.
A) (-2,-4)
B) (-2,0)
C) (-6,-4)
D) (-6,8)
E) (0,-2)

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

plug in the answers given into both equations to see if the statements true

y=x+2

0=(-2)+2

0=0

2x-y=-4

y=2x+4

0=2(-2)+4

0=0

Answer 2

B (-2, 0)

Explanation:

put the first equation in for y in the second equation - watch the negative

2x - (x +2) = -4

2x - x -2 = -4

x = -2

plug this x back in to find y

y = -2 + 2 = 0
