Add the two equations to get:
8x = 72
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 9
Plug 9 back into either equation for x, I chose the first:
9*4 + 5y = 51
36 + 5y = 51
5y = 15
y = 3
Ordered pairs are written as (x,y) so the answer is (9,3)
B
8x = 72
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 9
Plug 9 back into either equation for x, I chose the first:
9*4 + 5y = 51
36 + 5y = 51
5y = 15
y = 3
Ordered pairs are written as (x,y) so the answer is (9,3)
