	b.(1, 2)
	c.(5, 10)
       d. (-5, -10)

anonymous · Answer

wanna solve it, or just check each?  probably actually easier to solve it

anonymous · Answer

you pick

anonymous · Answer

if you solve it can you tell me how you did it?

anonymous · Answer

yes 
you can subtract the second equation from the first, in a column
you get $$y=-3$$ right away, which means something is wrong here

anonymous · Answer

is there a typo somewhere?

anonymous · Answer

i copied and pasted it from my doc.

anonymous · Answer

the actual answer is $(16,-3)$ which is none of  your choices

anonymous · Answer

can you attach it?

anonymous · Answer

sometimes copy and paste doesn't work
perhaps a minus sign was dropped or something

HI!!

misty1212 · Answer

like @satellite73 said, none of those answers work 
anyways there is only one answer, not more, so since $(16,-3)$ works, nothing else does

anonymous · Answer

its #5 at the bottom

misty1212 · Answer

lolol

anonymous · Answer

check the question directly above it

anonymous · Answer

it is exactly the same, and one choice is $(16,-3)$

anonymous · Answer

this is a mistake is all, don't fret one more moment about it
whoever wrote this messed up and copied the same equations twice

anonymous · Answer

okay thank you so much
