HELP!!!!!!! Choose the graph that matches the following system of equations:
4x + 2y = −2
x − 3y = 24
Answer:
The answer in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]4x + 2y = -2[/tex] -----> equation A
[tex]x-3y=24[/tex] -----> equation B
Isolate the variable x in the equation B
[tex]x=3y+24[/tex] ----> substitute in the equation A and solve for y
[tex]4(3y+24) + 2y = -2[/tex]
[tex]12y+96+ 2y = -2[/tex]
[tex]14y = -2-96[/tex]
[tex]14y = -98[/tex]
[tex]y = -7[/tex]
Find the value of x
[tex]x=3(-7)+24=3[/tex]
The solution of the system of equations is the point (3,-7)
