By substitution method: To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation. (-1) y + 4x = 10 5y + 3x = 19 Choose one of the equations and solve it for y by isolating y on the left side of the equals sings. (-1) y + 4x = 10 Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation: (-1) y + 4x - 4x = 10 - 4x (-1) y = 10 - 4x Multiply both sides of the equation by -1: (-1) y * (-1) = (10 - 4x) (-1) y = -10 + 4x y = 4x - 10 Now substitute 4x - 10 for y in the other equation, 3x + 5y = 19: 5 (4x - 10) + 3x = 19 Multiply 5 times 4x - 10: 20x - 50 + 3x = 19 Add 20x to 3x (collect like terms): 23x - 50 = 19 Add 50 to both sides of the equation: 23x - 50 + 50 = 19 + 50 23x = 69 Divide both sides of the equation by 23: 23x / 23 = 69 / 23 x = 69 / 23 x = 3 Now substitute 3 for x in y = 4x - 10. Since the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for "y" directly: y = 4 * 3 - 10 y = 12 - 10 y = 2 Solution: x = 3 y = 2 It just have one answer
so its b?
