Answer: maybe c?
Step-by-step explanation:
from eqn. 1
3x + 2y = 23
2y = 23 - 3x
y = 23/2 - 3/2x
sub into eqn. 2
1/2x - 4 = 23/2 - 3/2x
1/2x + 3/2x = 23/2 + 4/1
2x = 23/2 + 8/2
2x = 31/2
x = 31/4
sub into eqn. 1
31/4 + 2y = 23
2y = 23 - 31/4
2y = 92/4 - 31/4
2y = 61/4
y = 61/8 or 7 5/8
ummm i got something wrong but try c?
Answer:
C . 31/4,-1/8
1. sub the given value of y
into 3x + 2 (1/2x -4) 23
2. slove for x = 31/4
3.sub the given value of x into 1/2x - 4 =y
4. solve the equation for y
5. y = -1/8
6. ordered pair to (x,y) = 31/4,1,8
