Answer 1

To solve this system of equations, we can substitute the value of x from the second equation into the first equation.

2(5y - 1) + 6y = -18
10y - 2 + 6y = -18
16y - 2 = -18
16y = -16
y = -1

Now, we can substitute this value of y back into the second equation to find the value of x.

x = 5(-1) - 1
x = -5 - 1
x = -6

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (-6, -1). So the correct response is: (−6, −1)
