Question

Solve the system of equations below. 4x+1=16 2x+30= - 2

Answer 1

Answer:

D. (5, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y = 16       ----->     y = 16 - 4x

2x + 3y = -2

Substitute to find x

2x + 3(16 - 4x) = -2

2x + 48 - 12x = -2

-10x = -50

x = 5

Substitute to find y

4(5) + y = 16

20 + y = 16

y = 4

Final solution: (5, 4)
