Question

Solve the system of linear equations below.

y = -2x + 19
y = x + 7
Select one of the options below as your answer:A. x = 4, y = 11B. x = -12, y = -5C. x = -4, y = 3D. x = 8, y = 3

Answer 1

you job it first to solve
\[x+7=-2x+19\] for \(x\) which should take exactly 3 steps

Answer 2

the steps are:

1) add \(2x\) to both sides
2) subtract \(7\) from both sides
3) divide both sides by \(3\)
