thanks

That way you can cross out the y and solve for x.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
Eliminate one of the variables, in any of the equations to substitute into the otther.
For example eliminate y in the first equation, and whatever y equals to, substitute that for y in the second equation. Understand?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
Didn't see the choices.

For which system of equations is (5, 3) the solution?
A.
3x – 2y = 9
3x + 2y = 14
B.
x – y = –2
4x – 3y = 11
C.
–2x – y = –13
x + 2y = –11
D.
2x – y = 7
2x + 7y = 31
