Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.
7x+4y= 39
2x + 4y = 14
A. (3,2)
B. (5,1)
C. (5,4)
D. (3,4)

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Elimination method is applied, you have to eliminate one of the variables from both equations. Firstly, both equations contain 4y so you can subtract it :

Next, you have to substitute x = 5 to any equations. I will choose to put in (2) :

Therefore, put your answer in coordinate form :

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
