The simplest way to solve the system would be to use the elimination method.
What is the solution of the system? 7x + 5y = 19
–7x – 2y = –16 (1 point)
(2, 1) (1, 2) (7, 5) (–7, –2)
To solve the system using elimination method, you can add the two equations together to eliminate the x variable:

(7x + 5y) + (–7x – 2y) = 19 + (–16)
3y = 3
y = 1

Substitute the value of y into one of the original equations:

7x + 5(1) = 19
7x + 5 = 19
7x = 14
x = 2

So the solution to the system is (2, 1).

In this case, the simplest way to solve the system would be using the substitution method.
What is the solution of the system? y = −3x
3x + 2y = 6
(1 point)
(2, 6)
(−1, 3) (−2, 6) (1.5, −4.5)
To solve the system using the substitution method, we can substitute y = -3x into the second equation:

3x + 2(-3x) = 6
3x - 6x = 6
-3x = 6
x = -2

Substitute the value of x into y = -3x:

y = -3(-2)
y = 6

So the solution to the system is (-2, 6).
How many solutions does this system have? –3x + 6y = 10
–3x + 6y = –4 (1 point)
none one infinite two
This system of equations has no solution. The two equations are equivalent, meaning they represent the same line. Therefore, they have the same solution and no unique solution exists.
