Question

Choose the replacement for x and y that makes this equation a true statement: 2x + 55y = −214

a. x = −3 and y = −4
b. x = −4 and y = 3
c. x = 3 and y = −4
d. x = 4 and y = 4

Answer 1

wow that completly messed up :/

Answer 2

2x + 55y = −214
2(0) + 55y = −214
55y = −214
-214 / 55 = y

2x + 55y = −214
2x + 55(0) = −214
2x = −214
-214 / 2 = x
