I have aced tests on these. You can trust this is correct - plus it's verified by a calculator.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4y = 4 → (1)
3x - 4y = - 12 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 1 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term
- x + 4y = - 4 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
2x + 0 = - 16
2x = - 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 8
Substitute x = - 8 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
- 8 - 4y = 4 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 4y = 12 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
y = - 3
solution is (- 8, - 3 ) → B
