Question

i've asked this question 3 times so plz answer
Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−4, 0) and the system of equations?

{2x+y=−8x−y=−4

SELECT EACH CORRECT ANSWER


A) The ordered pair (−4, 0) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.

B) The ordered pair (−4, 0) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.

C) The ordered pair (−4, 0) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.

D) The ordered pair (−4, 0) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It makes the equation false because the answer on one side is false.

2(-4) + 0 = -8(-4) - 0 = -4

-8 + 0 = 32 - 0 = -4

-8 = 32 = -4

-8 does not equal 32. The equation is unbalanced.

So, the answer will be C) The ordered pair (−4, 0) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.

Hope this helps
