My bad just dont forget to look at the right of your screen please and thank you

anonymous · Answer

C is a solution to both. 3(4)+(-3)=9 and 2(4)-2(-3)=14

hero · Answer

Solve for y for both equations, set y = y, then solve for x. Input x into the original equation, then solve for y.

anonymous · Answer

the question basically says that both lines intersect at one of the following coordinates, and which one is it? therfore, one of the coordinates in the agrees with both linear equations

anonymous · Answer

in the choices*

Working on it...stand by

Whoops made a mistake...recalculating: 

Solve both equations for y: 

y = (14 - 2x)/-2
y = (9-3x) 

Set y = y: 

(14-2x)/-2 = (9-3x)

Solve for x: 

-2(9-3x) = 14-2x

-18 + 6x = 14 - 2x

8x = 32

x = 4
y = -3
