Which of the following ordered pairs are solutions to the system of equations belowa 1 6b 1 63 1 64 1 6 class=

Respuesta :

Given :-

  • A system of linear equation in two variables .

To Find :-

  • The solution set of the system .

Solution :-

The given system of equation is ,

[tex]\begin{cases} 3x + 2y = 9\dots (i) \\\\ y = 4x + 10 \dots (ii)\end{cases}[/tex]

Firstly , taking equation (ii) ,

[tex] y = 4x +10[/tex]

On subtracting y on both sides, we have ;

[tex] 4x - y +10 = 0[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 2 ,

[tex] 2(4x -y+10)=2(0)[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex] 8x - 2y = -20 \dots (iii)[/tex]

Adding equation (i) and (iii) ,

[tex] 3x + 2y + 8x - 2y = -20+9[/tex]

Add and subtract the like terms ,

[tex] 11x = -11 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 11 ,

[tex] x = -1 [/tex]

Now substitute this value in equation (i) ,

[tex] 3(-1) + 2y = 9\\ \\ -3 + 2y = 9 \\\\ 2y = 9+3 \\\\ 2y = 12 \\\\ y =\dfrac{12}{2}\\\\ y = 6[/tex]

Hence the correct option is 4 (-1,6) .

I hope this helps . Let me know if you need any further clarification .

Option 4.
