Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below?

y = two-fifths x minus 3 and x = –10
(–10, –7)
(–10, –1)
(–7, –10)
(–1, –10)

Answer 1

(-10,-7)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The solution to the system of equation is (-10, -7)

Explanation:

To determine the solution to the system of equations below, we will follow the steps below:

y = two-fifths x minus 3 and x = –10

y =
`(2X)/(5)` - 3------------------------------------------------------(1)

x = -10

substitute x=-10 into equation (1)

y= 2(-10)/5 - 3

Simplify to get the value of y

y = -20/5 - 3

y = -4-3

y=-7

The standard way of writing solution to a system of equation is (x,y)

Thus x= -10 and y = -7

Hence the solution to the system of equation is (-10, -7)
