Which of the following systems of linear equations has a solution of (-4,3)? 1. −4x+2y=22 −y=−3x−9 2. −4x+2y=22 y=−3x−9 3. −4x−2y=22 y=−3x−9 4. −4x−2y=22 −y=−3x−9

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

SYSTEM #1

-4x+2y=22

-y=-3x-9

We can multiply both sides of the second equation by -1 to see what y equals.

y=3x+9

We can substitute this value for y into the first equation and solve for x.

-4x+2(3x+9)=22

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

-4x+6x+18=22

We combine like terms.

2x+18=22

Subtract 18 from both sides.

2x=4

Divide both sides by 2.

x=2

Our x has to be -4 to be the correct answer, so this option is incorrect.

SYSTEM #2

-4x+2y=22

y=-3x-9

We plug this y value into the first equation to solve for x.

-4x+2(-3x-9)=22

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

-4x-6x-18=22

We combine like terms.

-10x-18=22

Add 18 to both sides.

-10x=40

x=-4

We have the correct x-value to be the answer, so let's find the y-value by plugging our x-value into one of the equations.

y=-3(-4)-9

y=12-9

y=3

So, the solution of this system of equations is (-4,3), so the correct answer is 2. -4x+2y=22, y=-3x-9

Have a wonderful day! :D
