To solve this system of equations, we can use either substitution or elimination method.
Let's use the elimination method:
1. Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 3 to make the coefficients of y the same:
15x - 20y = 200
15x - 15y = 165
2. Subtract the second equation from the first:
-5y = 35
y = -7
3. Substitute y = -7 into either equation to solve for x:
3x - 4(-7) = 40
3x + 28 = 40
3x = 12
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (4, -7).
So the correct response is (4, -7).
