Which ordered pair satisfies the system of equations shown below? (10 POINTS + BRAINLIEST ANSWER)

2x + 3y = -6
x - 4y = 19

A. (-9, 4)

B. (-3, 4)

C. (-1, -5)

D. (3, -4)

Respuesta :

The answer would be D.
 you would start by choosing one of the variables to eliminate, i chose to eliminate X first. in order to eliminate X, i had to multiply the second equation by -2. X then cancelled out, and i solved for the Y the same way you would a 1 step equation. Y=-4
I then took the first original equations, plugged Y in, and solved for X. X=3.

Hope this helps!
