Which statements are true about the ordered pair (-4, 0) and the system of equations?

{2x+y=-8

x-y=-4

Select each correct answer.

The ordered pair (-4, 0) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.

The ordered pair (-4, 0) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.

The ordered pair (-4, 0) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.

The ordered pair (-4, 0) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.

2x + y = - 8 (-4, 0)

2 (-4) + 0 = - 8

-8 + 0 = - 8

-8 = - 8

x - y = - 4 (-4, 0)

-4 - 0 = - 4

-4 = - 4

the ordered pair (-4, 0) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.
