Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. 2x - 5y = -14 x - 2y = -5

A. (2, 4) B. (3, 4) C. (4, 3) D. (4, 1)

Solve x−2y=−5 for x: x−2y+2y=−5+2y(Add 2y to both sides) x=2y−5 Substitute 2y−5 for x in 2x−5y=−14: 2x−5y=−14 2(2y−5)−5y=−14 Solve for y

4=4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y=4 I mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's either a or b. How do I figure out x

@pooja145

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok good now Substitute 4 for y in x=2y−5: x=2y−5 x=(2)(4)−5
