3x+2y=16
7x+1y=19
A. (-2,-5)
B. (2,5)
C. (-2,5)
D. (2,-5)
Here is an easy way: Substitute in the given x,y value choices to see which set 'works'
Just solve the systems (I will be using elimination): 3x + 2y = 16 -2(7x + 1y) = -2(19)
--------------------------
3x+2y=16 -14x -2y = -38
-11x = -22
x = 2
y = 5 (2,5)
Your answer is therefore B.
