Which pair of values of x and y makes both these mathematical statements true: 4x + 3y = 14 and 6x - 5y = 40

• (x = 10, y = 4)
• ( x = 8, y = 26)
• (x = 5, y = 2)

D) (x = 5, y = -2) ✔✔Answer: (x = 5, y = -2)

5(4x + 3y = 14) = 5(14)---> 20x + 15y = 70 3(6x - 5y = 40 = 3(40)---> 18x - 15 y = 120

------------------

38x = 190 x = 5 4(5) + 3y = 14 20 + 3y = 14 3y = -6 y = -2
