What is the solution to the system of equations?

use the linear combination method.

3x+y=3

2x+y=7

enter your answer in the boxes.

  (x, y) = (-4, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations have the same coefficient for y, so you can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here the x coefficient is largest for the first equation, so it will work best to subtract the second equation.

  (3x +y) -(2x +y) = (3) -(7)

  x = -4 . . . . . . . . simplify

Now, we can find y by substituting this value for x.

  2(-4) +y = 7

  y = 7 +8 = 15 . . . . . add 8 to both sides of the equation

The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 15).

d is the only accurate one
