cloverracer · Answer

Is there answer choices?

anonymous · Answer

(8, –22)
	(–2.67, 20.67)
	(–2, –2)
	(–22, 8)

anonymous · Answer

this ones

cloverracer · Answer

Okay, to solve this problem you will need to plug in each answer choice in the x and y variables until you find the answer choice that equals. For example, The first choice 8 would be plugged in the x variable and -22 would be plugged into the y variable.

ok thank you :)

cloverracer · Answer

Try the first one and see how you do :)

their both y = , so set them equal to each other and solve for x. Then sub that back into either of the equations and solve for y.

thank you, you were right  CLoverRacer")

texaschic101 · Answer

try this..
-4x + 10 = -2x - 6
now solve for x
then sub that back into either one of the equations and find y.
It is probably easier this way....rather then by going through each answer choice to see which one satisfies both equations

anonymous · Answer

thank you texaschic101 :)

texaschic101 · Answer

no problem....did you get the answer ? Better check the first answer choice again

anonymous · Answer

yes, i did !.. thank you anyway
