5-2x + 6y= -38
? 3x – 4y = 32
•(-4, - 5)
•(-5, 4)
•(1, – 6)
(4, - 5)

Option D (4, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by various methods. I will be using the hit and trial method. I will plug in all the options in the both the given equations and see if they  balance simultaneously.

Checking Option 1 by plugging (-4, -5) in the first equation:

-2(-4) + 6(-5) = -38 implies 8 - 30 = -38 (not true).

Checking Option 2 by plugging (-5, 4) in the first equation:

-2(-5) + 6(4) = -38 implies 10 + 24 = -38 (not true).

Checking Option 3 by plugging (1, -6) in the second equation:

3(1) - 4(-6) = 32 implies 3 + 24 = 32 (not true).

Since all the options except Option 4 have been ruled out, therefore, (4,-5) is the correct answer!!!
