Question

Select the statement that correctly describes the solution to this system of equations.

X+3y=5
Y=4x-7


A. There is no solution
B. There are infinitely many solutions.
C. There is exactly one solution at (2,1).
D. There is exactly one solution at (4,2).


Which 1?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

if you substitute in for x and y it works

Answer 2

x+3(4x-7)=5
x+12x-21=5
13x-21=5
13x=26
x=2

y=4x-7
y=4(2)-7
y=8-7
y=1

ANSWER: C. solution at (2,1)
