@AlexandervonHumboldt2 please help

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

sure: lets isolate x in both equations: x=-1-y x=11+3y eqaul them: -1-y=11+3y solve for y:

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

after finding y substitute it's value into one of the equations and solve for x

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

So solve for x with one of the answer choices right?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

well, we get that y=-3. no substitute -3 for y into the first equation and solve for x: x-3=-1 x=2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

*now

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

that would be A?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
