Question

{ y=x−7

{ 5x+2y=7

Use the substitution method.


A- (−1, −8)
B- (3, −4)
C- (7, 0)
D- (0, −7)

Answer 1

Substitute value of y from equation 1st into 2nd,
5x + 2y = 7
5x + 2(x - 7) = 7
5x + 2x - 14 = 7
7x = 7 + 14
x = 21 / 7
x = 3

Now, y = 3 - 7 = -4

In short, Your Answer would be Option B) (3, -4)

Hope this helps!
