Two lines, A and B, are represented by equations given below:
Line A: y = x – 4
Line B: y = 3x + 4
Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?
A. (–3, –5), because the point satisfies one of the equations
B. (–3, –5), because the point lies between the two axes
C. (–4, –8), because the point satisfies both equations
D. (–4, –8), because the point does not lie on any axis

sub the first equation into the the second
Mehek (mehek14):
\(x - 4 = 3x + 4\)
do you know how to solve for x?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
plug in the given values to see which ones fit
OpenStudy (spring98):
i tried c that might work
OpenStudy (spring98):
is it right?

you got the ordered pair (-4,-8)
Mehek (mehek14):
I would say D because the point isn't on the x or y axis
