Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations? {y=x-4 {-4x+3y=-3A.(0, −1)B.(−9, −13)C.(−6, −10)D.(−6, 2)
Accepted Solution
A:
The best way to answer this item is to use the Substitution method. Substitute the value of y from the first equation to the y of the second equation such that the second equation becomes,
-4x + 3(x - 4) = -3
Simplifying the equation, -x = 9
Dividing both sides by -1 gives an answer of, x = -9
Then, substitute the value of x in the first equation. y = -9 - 4 y = -13
