What is the solution to the system below?

the answer is (-2,5)

The answer is

For the first equation, the sum has to be a positive number, so -5 has to muliply another negative number. So A & B are out.

Next we figure out if it's C or D.

-5 x -2 = 10

6 x 5 = 30

30 + 10 = 40

D isn't the answer because 6 x -2 is a negative number which won't get you 40.

2

Explanation: This linear equation is written in slope-intercept form where is more commonly know as y = mx + b form where the multiplier, m, or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the line and the b or the constant term represents the y-intercept of the line.

So by looking at this linear equation, we can identify that the slope is 2 because it's your coefficient of the x term or the number in front of x.
