Solve the system of equations and choose the correct answer from the list of options.

d + e = 12
−d + e = −8

Label the ordered pair as (d, e). (4 points)

(0, 0)

(2, 10)

(10, 2)

(12, 0)

1 answer

To solve the system of equations:

d + e = 12
−d + e = −8

Add the two equations together:

2e = 4
e = 2

Substitute e = 2 back into the first equation to solve for d:

d + 2 = 12
d = 10

Therefore, the ordered pair is (10, 2).

So the correct answer is (10, 2).

(10, 2)
