Question

A system of equations is shown below:

y = 8x − 2
y = 9x − 7

What is the solution to the system of equations?

(−5, 38)
(−5, −38)
(5, 38)
(5, −38)

Answer 1

Substitution would be the easiest here since its given what y equals
8x-2=9x-7
I plugged in equation 1 into equation 2 to find the x value :)
8x-2=9x-7
Please solve for x

Answer 2

5

Answer 3

yes now we plug that into equation 1
y = 8(5)− 2
solve for y

Answer 4

38?

Answer 5

yes :) so which answer choices mathces?
