Question

A system of equations is shown below.
5x + 3y = -6
2x + y = -4.
Which statement about the ordered pair (-6, 8) is true? Show your work.
A. It is the only solution to the system
B. It is not a solution to either equation
C. It is one of many solutions to the system
D. It is a solution to the first but not the second equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6,8)...x = -6 and y = 8

lets start subbing

5x + 3y = -6

5(-6) + 3(8) = -6

-30 + 24 = -6

-6 = -6

so (-6,8) IS a solution to this equation

2x + y = -4

2(-6) + 8 = -4

-12 + 8 = -4

-4 = -4

so (-6,8) IS a solution to this equation

A. It is the only solution to the system
