Answer 4

Try each one. I will do the first one for you

Substitute x = -3 and y = -4 into 2x + 55y = -214. The work is shown below:

2(-3) + 55(-4) = -214

or

-6 - 220 = -214

-226 = -214

Do these match? .......... no ...... the answer is not A

2(4) + 55(4) = -214

or

8 + 220 = -214

or

228 = -214
