A system of equations is shown below: 2x = 5y + 4
3x − 2y = −16

What is the solution to this system of equations? (5 points)

x = -8, y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we want to write the equations so the variables line up

Next, we could either multiply one of the equations to cancel out the x's or the y's, either one works.

I will choose to cancel out the x's

add the equations and solve

once you have one variable, you can use it to solve the other

verify

it works

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

c. side angle side. u shares the same sides
