Question

**I give medals**
Which of the following ordered pairs is the solution to the system of linear equations?

(5, 14)

(4, 4)

(2, 5)

(6, 3)

x plus two y equals twelve; y equals three x minus one

Answer 1

x + 2y = 12
y = 3x - 1

Just plug in the values and see which one fits both equations.

Let's try (2, 5)

2 + 2(5) = 12

2 + 10 = 12

12 = 12

So the first equation fits, now let's try the 2nd one:

y = 3x - 1

5 = 3(2) - 1

5 = 6 - 1

Can you subtract 6 - 1? @kyrea
